Elphinstone Reef is located 20 km off the coast of Marsa Alam and is a great dive site, especially for 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 dives, but since it is a deep dive (20-40 metres deep), it is recommended only for experienced divers. The reef is covered with soft corals and the underwater fauna you will see here is extremely diverse. These include barracudas, angelfish, groupers and moray eels, to name a few. Occasional visitors include whitetip and grey reef sharks, as well as hammerheads. The reef can be reached by boat from Marsa Alam and is on the itinerary of many Red Sea liveaboards.
