About this site

The El Quseir Wall is the steep outer edge of the El Quadim fringing reef, where the shallow coral shelf gives way to a near-vertical wall dropping past 100 metres into the blue. Soft corals, gorgonians and glassfish-packed crevices line the face, while tuna, jacks and the occasional reef shark patrol the open water alongside. Best dived as a relaxed drift, it showcases the untouched character of the El Quseir coastline.
