Dive highlights
Abu Dabbab
Coral gardens and a canyon swim-through near Marsa Alam, with a small liveaboard wreck resting on the slope. Depths run to around 30–40 m.
Brothers Islands
Two remote islets in a marine park reserved for liveaboards. Sheer walls of soft coral and gorgonians draw pelagics and sharks, and Big Brother hides the Aida and Numidia wrecks.
Daedalus
A lone offshore reef some 80 km out from Marsa Alam, ringed by coral walls and known for big-animal encounters. The deep Zealot wreck here is strictly for technical divers.
Elphinstone
A long offshore reef famous for drifting along deep coral walls, with a real chance of oceanic whitetips and hammerheads.
Fury Shoal
A cluster of southern reefs including Satayeh and the cave-like mazes of Claudio and Malahi, full of light, swim-throughs and dolphins.
Marsa Shouna (Turtle Bay)
A shallow, sea-grass bay where large turtles graze and dugongs are occasionally seen, with coral gardens and pinnacles nearby.
Rocky Island / SS Maiden
Steep walls dropping into the blue, dressed in soft coral and black coral trees, where steady currents keep marine life abundant.
Safaga
Panorama Reef and Abu Kefan: plateaus, drop-offs and schooling barracuda, with hammerheads sometimes passing by.
Wadi El Gemal
A vast protected marine area south of Marsa Alam with hundreds of coral species and islands that serve as bird breeding grounds.
Zabargad
The largest island in Egypt's southern Red Sea, offering both wall and shallow dives over pristine hard and soft coral.
