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.
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.
