Sample Itinerary

Day 1:

• Check-in at 4:00 PM.

Day 2-7:

• Elphinstone: This long finger-like reef runs from north to south in the open Red Sea. Steep walls drop to the depths on the reef’s east and west sides, while the north and south ends of the reefs are marked by a submerged plateau. Sharks often swim by the spot to feed on the abundant reef fish population.

• Daedalus Reef: Daedalus Reef (also known as Abu Kizan) is a 400-meter-long and 100-meter-wide (1,310-330 ft) standalone reef in the Egyptian Red Sea situated about 90 kilometers from Marsa Alam. There is a small artificial island in the center of the reef, which hosts a lighthouse constructed in 1863 and rebuilt in 1931.

• Big Brother Island: The Big Brother is a 400-meter-long island offering fabulous wreck diving and wall diving. The wreck of the Numidia lies on the northern tip between 10 and 80 meters. The north-west side of the island houses the wreck of the Aida. On every section of this reef, the wall is covered with corals and life.

• Small Brother Island: The Little Brother boasts a very high concentration of life within a very small area. Fan coral forests, overhangs, hard and soft corals in a variety of astonishing colors, and of course, there are plenty of fish! With regular sightings of hammerheads, thresher sharks, grey sharks, and white tip reef sharks, at the right time of year.
