One of the most beautiful dive sites south of Mersa Alam with steep sloping walls on its east and south sides. The reef has characteristic shelves located both north and south and is best dived by following the edge of the plateaux. The southern plateau offers the best dive with colourful soft and hard coral (25m), and an abundance of fish life such as barracuda, grouper, snapper and giant moray eels. Grey reef and hammerhead sharks are common in the area, with huge napoleon wrasses and groupers.Ghadir El Bar & Arug Ghadir (East). The Ghadir chain is a group of 3 coastal reefs made up of Ghadir El Bar, Erug Ghadir and Ghadir El Shark. Deep canyons chiselled in the reef with endless fields of anemones and huge table coral formations make El Bar and Arug Ghadir one of the most impressive dives in the south. Ghadir East boasts some stunning coral formations with tunnels and caves and a feast of multicoloured soft coral. Turtles, whitetip reef shark, tuna, stingrays and grouper are only but a few of the species that can be found in the area.
In the winter months high seas and waves breaking along the coast can cause some difficulty in accessing some of these offshore sites. Dive Rangers organise day boat and zodiac diving trips between Elphinstone and Dolphin reef.
