Routing and availability

The M/Y Blue Pearl sails all the most famous & sought after routes from North to South. These include the classic North and Wreck Route, as well as the marine parks of Brothers, Daedalus, Rocky & Zabargad.

Further detailed information about the routings, dates & availability can be found in the overview above or can be requested at any time via office@maldivesandmore.com.

Enclosed you will find a few routing descriptions:

North & Wrecks
This is probably the most classic of all liveaboard diving tours offered in the Red Sea. North of Hurghada, the Red Sea is divided into 2 arms, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez. The Strait of Gubal serves as access for the Gulf of Suez. This has been heavily frequented since the opening of the Suez Canal. Due to the large number of reefs and islands, the Strait of Gubal is considered difficult to navigate.

North & Tiran
As with the North and Wreck liveaboard tours, the fascinating wrecks and reefs in the north are visited here. The pristine coral reefs of Tiran are the absolute highlight here. Tiran lies at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and consists of four main reefs that form the tip of an underwater bridge to the mainland.

North & Brothers
Experience the fascination of the wrecks in the North and Brother Islands. North of Hurghada, the Red Sea is divided into 2 arms, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez.

The road from Gubal serves as access to the Gulf of Suez. This has been heavily used since the opening of the Suez Canal. Due to the large number of reefs and islands, the Strait of Gubal is considered difficult to navigate. This has already been the undoing of many ships.

After all, who hasn't heard of the 4 wrecks of Abu Nuhas, or the Rosalie Moller and Thistlegorm?

Brother Island
Brothers - the epitome for every diver. The 2 islands, which are exposed in the middle of the Red Sea, are among the best and most difficult dive sites in the Red Sea. Strong currents ensure fantastic flora and fauna here. Encounters with sharks and large fish are the order of the day here.

Brother & Elphinstone
Brothers - the epitome for every diver. The 2 islands, which are exposed in the middle of the Red Sea, are among the best and most difficult dive sites in the Red Sea. Very strong currents ensure fantastic flora and fauna here. Encounters with sharks and large fish are the order of the day here. One of the best diving safaris in the Red Sea.

The chance to see a Longimanus is offered by this route, which includes Elphinstone, exactly when the start or end is in Port Ghalib.

Daedalus & Fury Shoal
Daedalus is an isolated reef in the open sea, almost halfway to Saudi Arabia. The reef is guarded by a lighthouse, which is the only marker on the horizon for many kilometers in any direction. The reef has steep walls. On the east, north and south sides it is perfect for good divers. There is a great possibility of seeing schools of hammerhead sharks in the northeast.

Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone
Explore three of the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea. A great all-round tour for divers with a little more experience. There is so much to see to be spoiled. This liveaboard offers challenging dives, big walls, beautiful coral walls and lots of big fish. Liveaboards to Brother Islands, Daedalus & Elphinstone is a must for all die-hard Red Sea divers!

Daedalus, Zabargad & Rocky Island
The best of the Red Sea, and it is just that. This tour takes you to the best the Red Sea has to offer. Including Elphinstone, Daedalus, Rocky Island and Zabargad Island. World-renowned dive sites make these liveaboard tours as interesting as they are unique.
