Sample Itinerary:

Rocky Island has become a shelter and nesting place for a large variety of birds. Zabargad, the biggest of both islands, has rather a steep relief and is surrounded by a marvelous turquoise lagoon. During summer it becomes the rendezvous place for turtles, where they gather to lay their eggs.
The best description would be: wild landscapes and isolated sites, lost in the middle of the Red Sea.

Daedalus
On the northern side of Daedalus, we will make a sunrise dive. It’s on the northern falling of Daedalus, the most exposed to sea currents where will have the biggest chance to have the most beautiful meetings with pelagic.
In fact, it’s too frequent to dive along with schools composed of more than 20 Hammer sharks. Carangidae and tunas are regularly present. We will then leave the deep zone to explore the falling. An exploration that demands a great deal of attention so much it is full of holes and overhangs. We can observe many black coral branches that have colonized the reef.
While ascending, don’t forget to look up: you could see Barracudas riding nearby.

Zabargad
We can see now on Zabargad Island some fragments of rocks like emeralds that gave the island its’ fame and its’ name. Zabargad is the Arabic name to designate that green-olive mineral that once filled this semi-volcanic island.
The dive site is characterized by its’ peaks, canyons, its’ caves, and fallings. You can cross over Tunas, scorpion fish, Leopard sharks as well as Nurse Sharks, Angelfish, grouper, morays and also blue doted stingray Mantas.

Rocky
Five km to the south of Zabargad lies Rocky Island near the Sudanese border.
Undoubtedly, Rocky Island is the wildest diving site in Egypt: diving thru the shallow platform that shelters all kinds of living creatures transforms into a falling covered by giant Gorgonias, sponges, and corals. To the south of the island, is the rendezvous of “the huge” white fin sharks, grey sharks, and Ray Mantas.
