Be ready to explore the area that has been untouched and have never seen mass diving tourism before. Technically in the northern Part of Sudan, at the border to Egypt the area features three reefs that we call the Elba Region. Huge coral fans are at the edge of the plateau. Quite often you can spot some big pelagics here, such as grey reef sharks and even hammerheads.

The eastern reef of the Elba region is going to surprise you with the wreck of Levanzo. It might be a bit challenging as a dive, the wreck starts with its propeller at 22 meters, the broben part is at 40th and the maximum depth is 65 m.

Important notes :

This itinerary has been specifically tailored for serious divers who want to enjoy the key reefs of the Red Sea in Egypt with no traffic as was the case in the early 1980s, providing ideal underwater atmosphere for all types of divers particularly for underwater videographer & photographers.

The distance of this itinerary is 600 Nautical Miles

Special permission have been granted to us from the Egyptian Navy to dive this pristine reefs & remote dive sites which are completely untouched.
