Elba Reef

Depth 10-40 m

Elba Reef is one of the southernmost reefs of Egypt, with part of it extending into Sudanese waters. This remote and pristine location offers untouched coral formations, dramatic drop-offs, and thriving marine life, making it a dream for adventurous divers. Due to its isolation, the reef sees minimal diver traffic, allowing for truly wild encounters with grey reef sharks, hammerheads, barracudas, and large schools of pelagic fish.

A unique highlight of Elba Reef is the wreck of the Italian cargo ship Levanzo, now home to a diverse array of marine life. The wreck has transformed into a spectacular artificial reef, attracting moray eels, groupers, and colorful reef fish.

Elba Reef remains one of the least-explored dive sites in the Red Sea, offering a rare chance to experience virgin dive spots, thriving marine ecosystems, and fascinating wrecks in an untouched underwater paradise.
