Located 20 km off Marsa Alam’s shore, Elphinstone Reef is a great diving site, especially for the wall diving enthusiasts. The reef is 300 metres long, and its walls drop to spectacular depths of more than 100 metres. The strong currents make it a perfect destination for drift diving, but since it is a deep dive (20-40 m depth) it is only advised for experienced divers.
The reef is covered with soft corals and the underwater fauna species you’ll spot there are extremely diversified. These include barracudas, angel fish, groupers, and morays, only to name a few. The occasional visitors include whitetip and grey reef sharks, as well as hammerheads.
The reef can be accessed from Marsa Alam by boat, and is included in the route of many liveaboard dive safaris in the Red Sea.
