    Dive Activity

    Diving in El Quseir

    The majority of diving offered this region by dive centres and dive resorts is done from shore and luckily there is more than enough things to see from those sites. There are a few sites offshore but due to it being a protected area there are limited mooring lines for boats.

    Due to its large reef walls there are opportunities for drift diving at Elphnistone dive site, depending on where you are dropped with the boat. At Zereb Kebir there is the opportunity to dive in caves and caverns if you enjoy going through the marine life, not just above or beside it.

    Top Wildlife Sightings in El Quseir

    There is something incredibly unique which can be spotted in El Quseir; sea cows (Dugongs). They roam in these areas and really fun to spot while diving. Aside from this unique species, there are also turtles, reef sharks and Barracudas in this area. Species which seek shelter in the thriving coral reefs include Pipe Fish, Nudibranchs, Crocodile Fish, the impressive Lion Fish,  the elusive Frog Fish and much more. At Zereb Kebir there is a local Eagle Ray which welcomes divers.

    The best Months to dive in El Quseir

    Diving here is possible all year as the water temperatures stay within comfortable diving temperatures and the visibility is impressive throughout  the year; always staying above 20 metres on average, and there are no extreme weather conditions which prevent diving. The weather is warm and so the water temperatures are warm, ranging between 22 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius.

    When it comes to when you can see, the possible sightings of larger species go up a lot between May and November, with September being the best time to come and see sharks and Manta Rays.
