Fantastic diving with big animals

The world-renowned dive site and Elphinstone reef is a long extended reef that rises in the depths to the surface. Here there are breathtaking drop-offs on both the west and east walls. The walls are covered in beautiful hard and soft corals and inhabited by a teeming marine life. At both ends of the walls are plateaus that are often patrolled by various sharks, of which the thresher shark and hammerhead shark are perhaps the most spectacular. Also manta rays, whale sharks, thresher sharks and other pelagic creatures are sometimes seen here. (To dive at Elphinstone you need at least 30 logged dives to be allowed to dive here). Many liveaboard pass these waters on the way to the best sites in southern Egypt so it's really good diving into the knot.
