El Queseir Diving
             


                      1. Big Brother

                      A 400m long island with lighthouse, 40 miles off the coast from El
                      Queseir. Offers wreck diving on two sunken boats on the northern tip
                      and excellent wall diving along the southern side of the reef with
                      strong currents promoting the growth of a spectacular forest of soft
                      corals. Frequent sightings of big pelagics and an astonishing variety
                      of marine life.

                      2. Little Brother

                      The smaller island next door has a superb fan coral forest and plenty
                      of caves, ovrhangs, black coral, and a great deal of pelagics including
                      sharks, tuna, barakuda, turtles and schools of reef fish.

                      3. Queseir El Qadim

                      Todays Subex base house reef, this bay where the Swiss hotel
                      'Movenpick' has been built is a natural habour used previously in
                      Roman times. Anphoras can still be seen between the hard corals at
                      different depths. Large shools of fish, stingrays and turtle.

                      4. Erg El Asal

                      Big blocks of mountain coral surrounding a small flat topped reef can
                      be circumnavigated in one dive. Clouds of goldfish engulf the reef
                      and swimming through the sandy patches surrounding the reef white
                      tip sharks may be found sleeping as well as turtles and baracudas.

                      5. Sharm El Bahari

                      'Mangrove Bay Hotel' has been recently built next to this natural
                      habour, which offers a good dive on the northern corner of the
                      fringing reef with a hard coral garden sloping gently to the deep.
                      Large schools of unicorns, snappers, surgeons, fusilliers and
                      baracudas.

                      6. Sharm El Quibli

                      Bay on the coast offers some decent diving on its northern corner,
                      with a sloping reef covered in acroporas, fire coral and other hard
                      corals. Lots of groupers.

                      7. Marsa Wizri

                      Another bay on the coast, the fringing houses large schools of yellow
                      goatfish, unicorns, baracudas and other reef fish species on both
                      north and south outer extremes.

                      8. Habili Sheik Malek

                      Less than one mile away from the Tumb-Mosque on the coast, a little
                      reef formation creates a labiryth of hard corals, fire and huge tables
                      where lots of fish often concentrate. Napolean, baracudas and
                      eagleray.

                      9. Ras Torombi

                      Shallow dive around the northern most tip of the cape's fringing reef,
                      a great deal of fire coral, giant table coral heads scattered over a
                      sandy bottom. Snappers, butterflies, rays and guitar sharks.

                      10. Shoona

                      Bay on the coast with good dives on the north and south side. Schools
                      of batfish, baracudas and goatfish around the coral heads with glass
                      fish which come out from the slope.
