Located in the Halaib Triangle, near the Egyptian-Sudanese border, Elba is a remote and breathtaking dive destination known for its stunning reefs and exceptional biodiversity. One of the highlights is the rarely visited wreck of the SS Isola di Levanzo, resting near a dramatic drop-off and scattered with century-old sherry bottles, offering a unique historical dive experience. The surrounding coral-rich shallows are teeming with life, from vibrant reef fish to reef sharks, making it a dream site for adventurous divers.

Further south lies Abu Fandera, a spectacular 6-kilometer reef system just south of St. John’s. Divers can navigate coral-filled passages adorned with soft corals and encounter a thriving marine ecosystem that includes reef sharks, colorful reef fish, and often impressive schools of humphead parrotfish.

Sample Itinerary

The crew will transfer the guests from the airport to the ship. After a nice welcome briefing by the Cruise Director, cabin allocation and ship orientation will take place. Guests can familiarize themselves with the vessel, set up equipment, and get comfortable.

Days 2 - 6:

If no marine park area will be visited, may dive up to 4x a day, including night diving. Otherwise, a night dive is not possible.

Day 7:

This will be the last day dive of the trip as we cruise back to the harbor.

Day 8:

After breakfast and check-out, we start preparing for disembarkation. We say goodbye to the guests and wish them farewell! The crew will organize the transfer to the airport or hotel and assist with check-in for onward flights.

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.
