LEARNING TO DIVE
The coastline of the region around Marsa Alam offers a number of sheltered bays
and some incredibly scenic fringing reefs. It is possible to learn to dive in
Marsa Alam and the shore diving on offer is often particularly suited to novice
divers. However, to take full
advantage of the stunning dives available here it is recommended to be an
advanced diver with some experience.
QUALIFIED DIVERS
Diving in Marsa Alam is truly world-class diving that combines the
best aspects of shore and boat diving. The coastal reefs are stunning with
impressive hard and soft corals, elaborate topography and an amazing abundance
and variety of colorful fish.
Shore divers visit Marsa Abu Dabab, wishing to catch a glimpse of the resident
Dugong feeding on the sea grass found in the middle of the bay. Even without seeing
Dennis, there are a lot enough here
to satisfy most divers wanting a relaxing shore dive with plenty to see. The
reefs are beautiful and packed with marine life, whilst this site is also well
known for its regular sightings of guitar sharks, and turtles.
To take advantage of the best this area has to offer, day trips are organized
to outer sites. The dramatic walls and drop-offs of Elphinstone Reef are the
making of a spectacular dive. The walls of this great finger-like reef plunge
steeply into the blue, richly decorated with soft corals, sponges, gorgonians
and fans. Sharks often swim by the spot to feed on the abundant reef fish
population.
A trip to Shaab Samadai or Dolphin House is another absolute must. A large, horseshoe-shaped
reef creates a shallow, turquoise lagoon that is frequented by a pod of around
60 spinner dolphins. The diving here typically takes place between 10-15 meters
on the southwest tip of the main reef. There is a fantastic network of caves
and tunnels and a carpet of sea grass, favored habitat of moray eels, leopard
groupers, goatfish, lionfish, masked butterfly fish and many more.
