Insider's View

Marsa Alam diving is renowned for its impressive reefs, home to hard and soft corals in pristine condition. Elphinstone, Sha’ab Samadai and Abu Dabab are just some of the famous reefs you can immerse yourself in.

Elphinstone is one of the greatest dive sites in the Red Sea, teeming with sea life including sea turtles, anthias and an impressive variety of sharks with hammerheads and grey reef sharks making the occasional appearance. From October to January, white-tip sharks are also a pleasant sight. Sha’ab Samadai is one of the many inshore sites in Marsa Alam. This horseshoe shaped reef creates a shallow turquoise water lagoon where large schools of spinner dolphins are often seen. The western tip of this site provides large groups of pinnacles rising to the surface from a carpet of sea grass, populated by schools of reef fish.

Port Ghalib in Marsa Alam is a popular place for liveaboards visiting southern sites. Daedalus, St Johns, Brother Islands, Fury Shoals and Elphinstone are just some of the top sites you will visit on some of the liveaboards departing Port Ghalib. Most of these sites are suitable for advanced divers with a minimum of 30 dives as they tend to be deep and often experience strong currents.
