About this center

SSI center at Mövenpick Resort, El Quseir. Outstanding house reef, five-star facilities, uncrowded southern Red Sea location.

Extra Divers El Quseir is based at the Mövenpick Resort, one of the finest hotels on the Red Sea coast between Hurghada and Marsa Alam. As part of the Extra Divers worldwide chain, the center brings consistent German-quality standards to this quiet stretch of Egyptian coastline.

The Mövenpick's house reef is outstanding — a pristine fringing reef accessible directly from the resort's beach. Coral coverage is dense and healthy, supporting a thriving ecosystem of reef fish, turtles, rays, and moray eels. The reef's relatively isolated location means it sees far less diver traffic than comparable reefs near major resorts.

Boat trips access the offshore reefs of the Quseir-Marsa Alam corridor, including sites along the coastal fringing reef system and further offshore formations. The area between Quseir and Marsa Alam is one of the least developed stretches of the Egyptian Red Sea coast, offering pristine diving conditions.

SSI courses are offered in English and German, from introductory through advanced recreational levels. The resort pool provides a comfortable confined water training area. Night dives on the house reef are a particular highlight, with rich nocturnal life including hunting cuttlefish and ornate ghost pipefish.

The Mövenpick resort itself provides five-star comfort: excellent restaurants, a spa, multiple pools, and beautifully landscaped grounds. El Quseir's historic old town with its Ottoman-era architecture adds cultural interest beyond the diving.
