Dive Site Overview:

A circuit to the South near the Sudan border will allow us to flirt with the Tropic of Cancer. We will embark in Marsa Alam or Hamata. The reefs of St. John's are very varied. The circuit, alternating between falling and diving into the median space, the dive will delight all lovers of breathtaking drop-offs as well as a passion for macro photographers. We can cross turtles, dolphins, sharks, napoleons, and for those who choose the circuit St John's / Fendira, large parrot bumps. You will pass magnificent sites such as:

Habili Ali
Is a beautiful reef in the shape of a horseshoe that has regular schools of dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). We will do our first dive from the back "in fins." (weight ...) So we can watch the dolphins either diving or by PMT. They are very often outside the reef or the lagoon
This beautiful shoal, 150 meters long and 50 meters wide, is located one or two meters from the surface. It is oriented east/west. The boat will be anchored to the south/west or south/east of the reef. We will usually drop at the north, returning along the drop-off towards the side where letting the current carry our boat. As soon as we switch back, we will go down in the area of -30/40 meters to observe the pelagic. We will see evolve over the course of tuna, barracuda, and reef sharks. Sometimes, a hammerhead shark may wander around. On this falling north, you can see large bushes of black coral. Then we leave the deep zone, with the flow. If you return to the west, you pass through a garden of giant sea fans in the vicinity of -25/30 meters. Also remember to check back regularly in the blue, because it is common to see dolphins pass (Tarsiops) in the morning on this site. Do not hesitate at the end of diving, strolling through the landing zone, and look at the top of the plateau, and life abounds.

Habili Gafar
One of the most spectacular sites in the vast area of St John's. This reef is on the surface only 15 meters wide by 30 feet long. Imagine, a steep cone widens slowly to the zone of 20 meters, to form a small plateau before resuming its descent up to 80 meters. Generally, the current is strong enough on this site. We descend along the north side of the "cone", to reach the area of -30/35 meters. On the descent, we perceive the small plateau that materializes this depth. Here, on the north face of the course, we have all chances to cross more pelagic. It is not uncommon to spend sandbar sharks or even other species. Then we go up again along the reef, describing a slow upward spiral. The wall is extremely rich in Alcyonarians of all colors, hard coral, clouds of Anthias, snappers, barracudas, tuna, and Carangas ... Before heading at the end of diving into your boat, take the time to look over the reef in the landing zone. You will be surprised again by the diversity of species living there.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip. Divers are recommended to wait for 24 hours before flying after the last dive.
