Marsa Alam was once a small fishing village on the Egyptian shore of the Red Sea. Once it was discovered by divers it rapidly became a favorite dive destination. The most famous dive spot is undoubtedly Elphinstone Reef, the long finger-like coral formation positioned 10,5km off the coast, in front of Marsa Alam village. Here the steep walls of the reef run north to south in the open sea, dropping down to a depth of over 61m. Both ends of the reef open into a wide submerged plateau, making it the perfect stage for an incredible performance of sharks, who frequently visit these waters. It is common to meet hammerheads, grey reef sharks, longimanuses, thresher sharks and whitetips. Advanced divers can also visit the deep underwater arch located under the southern tip. At the end of a long decompression dive or even during a long, shallow dive along the walls encrusted with multicolored soft coral, the warm tropical waters of the Red Sea can actually drain warmth from your body and give you a chill. The right amount of thermal protection is absolutely necessary to keep you comfortable no matter how long you stay underwater. SCUBAPRO wetsuits range from the ultra-thin 0,5mm steamers, perfect as contact protection when snorkeling or as undersuits in wet and dry suits, to our thicker 6,5mm Nova Scotia semi-dry suit and even include our complete dry suits available in both neoprene or membrane style. Our complete line of thermal protection allows you to keep warm and comfortable in both warm waters and in the colder waters of seas and oceans located far from from the Equator. Thickness is just one of the parameters of a good wetsuit: perfect fit, high-technology fabrics, advanced construction and innovative solutions provide high thermal performance and versatility. In over 40 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 you are sure to find the perfect combination for the multiple conditions encountered on your various dives. |
