A relaxing 10-day trip from Marsa Alam to Elba Reef. The boat needs a few repairs here and there, but it’s okay.
The crew and the guides, Akram and Essam, were absolutely top-notch.
The reefs south of Marsa Alam have suffered greatly from two hot summers—there are hardly any soft corals left, gray limestone instead of coral gardens, and even the large schools of fish have become significantly smaller. Apart from a lone shark at Elphistone Reef, there were no large fish, though this is mainly due to the water temperature reaching 30° (in early November!).
