Elba Reef is 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 1900’s. 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.

St. John’s Reef is a truly exceptional diving destination located in the southernmost part of the Egyptian Red Sea, just a stone’s throw from the Sudanese border. This vast underwater plateau is renowned for its pristine coral formations, abundant marine life, and remote, untouched beauty.

St. John’s reefs consisting of ten bank reefs, which extend 29 km from east to west and roughly 10 km from north to south.
