Marsa Alam

You are right there is virtually nothing in Marsa Alam outside of the hotels.

Dive sites I would recommend from a boat are Shaab Marsa Alam, Habili, Nakari, Marsa Samadi and Elphinstone of course. I would give Dolphin house a miss as it is quite expensive and it is hit and miss if the Dolphins are there or not. Shore dives I would suggest, Abu Dabor and Abu Dabab (mostly for Dennis the Dugong but also the guitar sharks). Most of these sites are in the 20-30 Meter range and are excellent for everyone. Water should be warm around 26 degrees but it will be windy so take a sweatshirt for the evenings.

That is about all there is to Marsa Alam, where are you staying?
