West Reef - Québec

When you're diving out of Sharm, The Alternatives are often a solid choice, especially if the weather's a bit choppy for the usual Ras Mo spots. It's a series of coral pinnacles, as the name suggests, sitting just west of the park boundary. We usually find it’s a good drift dive, letting the current carry you past the different bommies. Look for the big schools of fusiliers around the coral heads and keep an eye out for pharaoh cuttlefish, they're often lurking in the crevices. It’s a comfortable dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in or just enjoying a relaxed afternoon.
