This diving safari covers the coastal section of the southern Red Sea offering stunning diving on a huge variety of reefs, walls as well as hard coral gardens teeming with fish life.
Some of the best dives are made in the early morning when you are most likely to find hammerhead and grey reef sharks circling around the tips of reefs such as on the north plateau of the famous and exposed reef of Elphinstone with its sheer walls covered in soft corals.
Daedalus Reef, also part of the Marine Park, is the most off-shore of all the dive reefs in the Egyptian Red Sea. It is a big oval reef with a lighthouse and its perimeter of walls offers some of the most stunning diving in the Red Sea. Typical of Daedalus is its huge and pristine hard coral formations and the possibility to spot schooling hammerheads. Thresher sharks, mantas and whale sharks can also be spotted while diving here.
St Johns is a collection of small reefs offering some of the best diving in the Red Sea. Habili Ali will make even the most experienced of divers sigh with wonder when admiring the forests of huge fan corals and black corals that populate its walls. At its western end grey reef, silver-tip and big schools of hammerhead sharks may be observed. Have also a lookout for the curious and impressive Hump-head parrotfish that are typical for the St Johns area.
Shaab Sataya, the largest reef system in Fury Shoal, has it all – shear walls, ancient amphorae and yet another possibility to swim with big pods of friendly and playful spinner dolphins.
Shaab Abu Galawa Saghira with its wonderful hard coral garden in the shape of an amphitheater is truly memorable.
The above itinerary is only a plan and it is to provide an idea as to which sites may be most likely visited during the trip.
There may be deviations from this plan due to weather conditions, the captain’s decisions, the dive guides’ suggestions, the guests’ requests and qualifications and other factors that may hinder the safety of the crew and the guests.
This itinerary is based on 7 nights spent on board. Due to the schedule of the boat, there is a possibility that we will offer 6 nights onboard and 1 night in a 4* hotel.
The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 1 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24 hours before flying after the last dive.
