Scuba Diving Holidays to Marsa Alam

3 hours by road south of Hurghada (direct flights to Marsa Alam airport during the summer months) this is one of Egypt's most exciting destinations and the best land based diving in the Red Sea! This whole coast line is one huge fringing reef of exceptional quality with new dive sites being discovered all the time.

Dive sites such as Elphinstone (famous for its hammerheads!) and Dolphin Reef, previously only accessible to southern Red Sea liveaboards, can now be dived by day boats from Marsa Alam. This resort is a must!

There are three bases from which to dive: the hotel by truck of straight off the beach front; Marsa Shagra at a reef clad bay next door to the hotel (boat diving to Elphinstone and Dolphin House from here) and most recently, Wadi Lahami (an hours drive south) where you can dive Fury Shoals at St Johns reef - this is the best !

Pioneer Divers is managed and operated by Red Sea Diving Safari which has been running for over ten years along the southern Red Sea coast. Hossam Helmy, the owner, has dedicated himself and his team to discovering this coastline and they have conducted the most extensive survey of the fringing reef.

The diving here is most suited to the slightly more experienced divers as you will need at least 50 logged dives to get out to the best dive site at the off shore reef of Elphinstone and Dolphin House. However there is still plenty of excellent spots to snorkeller and beginner divers along the miles of fringing reef that dominate this coast line.
