I've been already three times in this area. Compared to Hurghada and Sharm it is relativly untouched, but in general the cost of southern Egypt becomes more touristic. Most dive are done form shore along drop-offs and in small bays. Boat dives are pretty rare. From El Quseir you can reach some excellent dive spots:
- Elphinstone Reef (Oceanic Whitetip Sharks)
- Marsa Abu Dabbab (Dugong, Turtles)
- Dolphin House (Spinner Dolphins)
Even on "normal" spots you have beautiful corals and if you're lucky some pelagic fish (eagle ray, napoleons, ...).
Definitly worth a trip.
