Finger like Elphinstone reef extends some 300m in length and is one of the best dive sites in the south of Egypt. Its spectacular walls plunge vertically on both sites to more than 100m and are covered in beautiful soft corals. Fish life includes milions of anthias, Napoleonfish, large tuna and schools of jacks and snappers. Shelving plateaus booked the reef.
