Scuba diving Elphinstone reef, Red Sea, Marsa Alam
The pair of dives on the Elphinstone reef was a wonderful experience for us. A great trip with amazing scuba diving from a small boat brought us a lot of nice photos.
The following photos were taken during 2 reef dives as part of a trip with Duck Diving Superior Marsa Alam dive centre. Scuba diving took place in a small group (4 divers) with a guide, each dive lasting approximately one hour.
The shark was swimming only in the great distance.
The visibility underwater was amazing, we really enjoyed crystal clear water.
We were surrounded by an amazing healthy coral reef with lots of fish such as large school of anthias, occasionally swimming surgeonfish and various other tropical species.
We shot the pictures with a pair of Canon Powershot G11 compacts, with Canon and Ikelite underwater housings.
Some of the images are photographed only in ambient light, some are taken with external Ikelite DS160 underwater strobe.
A beautiful reef and an abundance of anthias fish inches in front of the camera in perfectly clear water, that's Elphinstone reef scuba diving.
Reef and endless blue.

The amount of fish and coral was fantastic.

We also tried a tank strap with a metal buckle, it didn't work well and we didn't use it anymore.
