The centre utilises speedboats to reach offshore sites like Elphinstone, facilitating efficient transit for drift dives and wall explorations. These excursions allow you to access remote locations that are otherwise difficult to reach from the shore.

Onboard services include lunch and a selection of both hot and cold beverages to keep you hydrated and nourished between dives. Nitrox is available for use on these trips, supporting divers looking to extend their bottom times.

A full range of rental kit is available on-site for those not travelling with their own equipment. This includes masks, snorkels, fins, boots, regulators, BCDs, and wetsuits. For night diving or low-light conditions, the centre also provides torches, compasses, and SMBs.

For divers preferring to bring their own equipment, the centre provides essential shore-based support. Nitrox is available on-site, and the centre maintains emergency oxygen equipment to ensure safety standards are met during all operations.

The marine life in this region is diverse, with the deep walls of Elphinstone attracting large pelagics such as sharks and jacks. In the more sheltered bays and lagoons, you will find a wealth of life including sea turtles and resident dolphin pods.

In the seagrass meadows and sandy areas of Marsa Mubarak, keep a close watch for the rare dugong. These areas are also excellent for observing turtles cruising along the reef flat.

Macro enthusiasts will find plenty to explore among the corals and reef structures. The local fauna includes various species of boxfish and pipefish, which often hide amongst the reef architecture.

The reef itself is a vibrant landscape, providing a home for many species including jack and various reef fish that frequent the coral formations.

Diving in this area involves a variety of conditions depending on the chosen site. Sites like Elphinstone are known for strong currents, which are best managed by divers with experience in drift diving.

Other locations, such as Mangrove Bay or the Sataya lagoon, offer more protected environments with moderate to low current, making them suitable for a wider range of diver levels. Visibility in the region is generally excellent, reaching up to 30 metres.
