Elphinstone Reef (local name Sha’ab Abu Hamra) is one of the most famous dive sites in the Red Sea, located about 12 km offshore, halfway between Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam. This elongated reef is renowned for its dramatic drop-offs, strong currents, and breathtaking coral-covered walls. With its north-south orientation, Elphinstone is a hotspot for pelagic marine life, particularly sharks, making it a must-visit site for experienced divers. Due to the depth and currents, this dive is recommended for advanced and professional divers.
