The
Reef Elphinstone, a truly legendary reef, is one of the most beautiful
reefs in the red sea, with its north and south plateau's, and its
walls covered in soft corals, black corals, wire corals and gogonias.
Hammerheads, Oceanic White Tip Sharks and Grey Reef Sharks can also
be spotted here on a regular basis.
The Daedalus Reef is a huge reef formation that lies at about 180
km south of Brother Islands. The reef is surrounded by a sheer wall
all around, featuring a plateau in its southern side that goes from
30 m beside the reef to 40 m on the edge of the drop-off. If the
weather is good, try to get as far north as possible and drift along
one of the sides of the reef. Reef and Hammerhead Sharks are often
spotted here. UW life is here more abundant than anywhere else,
with schools of surgeons, fusiliers, carangids.
The Island of Zabargad is a superb dive spot. Here you can dive
along walls, hover over drop offs or dive slowly in the shallow
area, watching the fish and admire the coral garden. At the northside
of Zabargad lies a nameless wreck. The 70-m long ship lies upside
down in 24-m depths. The whole stern section is nearly intact- stairs,
rail, lings, davit and the bridge.
Rocky Islandis a mythical site that represents the diver's dream.
The fringing reef that circles the entire perimeter of the island
drops steeply to an astonishing depth and the constant currents
that flow all along the year favour the growth of all different
kinds of life in a continuous struggle for a place on the reef.
The walls are absolutely covered with the most beautiful soft corals
ever found, as well as gorgonias, fans, sponges and black coral
trees. Because of its isolated situation and the reduced dimensions
of the reef wall, everything seems to concentrate on the surroundings
of this small islet. Reef sharks, specially Grey and Silver Tips,
you can watch in the blue and may be Manta Rays, Sailfish and dolphins.
Deep, deep in the south (in the near of Rocky Island) are the St.
John's Reefs. Here you will find exciting drop-offs. The wall of
one of the reefs is overgrown with big gorgonias, the wall of the
other reef is overgrown with all kinds of colourful soft corals.
You will find a lot of fish and in the blue you can see with a little
bit luck "big fish" like Hammerhead, Grey Reef Sharks,
Silver Tip and White Tip Reef Sharks and Barracudas, Tunas and Mackerels.
Sometimes even you can see Mantas and dolphin
