The reefs around Marsa Alam are home to a diverse array of large pelagics. You can expect to encounter hammerhead sharks, tiger sharks, and oceanic whitetip sharks, alongside frequent sightings of spinner dolphins and green sea turtles.

Other common residents include hawksbill turtles and various species of reef fish. The biodiversity of the region is further enhanced by the presence of dugongs in certain areas.

For those interested in the smaller details, the reef walls and flats support a rich variety of fixed life. This includes various species of hard and soft corals, gorgonians, and sponges that create a vibrant underwater landscape.

Conditions can vary significantly depending on the site selected. While some reefs offer calm, shallow waters suitable for beginners, offshore sites like Elphinstone are known for their strong currents and steep drop-offs.

The sea state can be influenced by wind, which may occasionally affect accessibility to more exposed sites. It is always best to check the local conditions with the instructors before heading out on a trip.
