2 weeks: Elba Reef-Rocky Island-Zabargad-St. Johns-Daedalus-Elphinstone-Brother Islands

旅程的高潮

• Highlight is the Elba Reef. It's located at the Halaib Triangle on the Egyptian and Sudanese border with very nice plateaus on its North and South side. It is a triangle-shaped reef, the Plateau in the North is long and starts at around 20 m and ends at around 45 m depth. At the edge of the plateau plenty of huge coral fans can be found.
• One of the main attractions, at the edge of a deep drop-off at the South plateau, is the large wreck of “SS Isola di Levanzo” that sank in the early 1900s. She is a rarely visited beautiful wreck which is surrounded by scattered sherry bottles all over the sea bottom. The propeller of the ship lies at 18 m and the entire upper or stern section can be penetrated.
• Further inshore, the reef is relatively shallow but well grown with a variety of corals. All around the Reef Fish life is interesting as from reef species to sharks everything can be spotted.
