Marsa Alam once was a small fishing village on the Egyptian shore of the Red Sea, then it was discovered by divers and rapidly became a favorite destination. The most famous dive spot is undoubtedly Elphinstone Reef, the long finger-like coral formation lying 6,5 miles off the coast in front of Marsa Alam.
Here the steep walls of the reef run north to south in the open sea, dropping down to a depth of over 200 feet. Both ends of the finger open into a wide submerged plateau that is the perfect stage for the spectacle of the sharks that frequently visit this spot. Here it is common to meet hammerheads, grey reef sharks, longimanuses, thresher sharks, and whitetips. Advanced divers will be able to visit the deep underwater arch located under the southern tip.
At the end of a long deco dive or simply during a long, shallow dive along the walls encrusted by multicolored soft corals, even the warm tropical waters of the Red Sea can drain warmth from your body. That is way you need the right amount of thermal protection to keep comfortable no matter how long you stay underwater.
SCUBAPRO wetsuits range from the ultra-thin 0,5 mm steamers, perfect as contact protection when snorkeling, to the thicker 6,5mm semi-dry suits that allow you to keep warm in the colder waters of seas and oceans located far from the Equator.
Thickness is just one of the parameters that make a good wetsuit: perfect fit, high-technology fabrics, advanced construction and innovative solutions provide high thermal performances and versatility. In over 30 years of experience SCUBAPRO has developed an incredibly flexible layering system, allowing you to tailor your thermal protection to your exact needs, by mixing and matching those individual items that are the perfect combination for the conditions you will be diving in.
