Routing and availability

North & Tiran
This Red Sea dive itinerary combines the most famous wrecks in the northern Red Sea with dives on stunning walls and hard coral reefs.
Dive the famous four wrecks of Abu Nuhas, the ship graveyard. This reef is close to the ship track to the Suez Canal and has claimed more ships than any other in the Red Sea. The wrecks are scenic, littered with coral and great for photography, especially the Carnatic, which sank in 1869.

Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone
The Brother Islands, the peaks of two underwater mountains rising from the depths, can be explored while diving in the Red Sea about 50 nautical miles off the coast near the city of Quseir.
The Aida II, an Egyptian supply ship, and the Numidia, a cargo ship, are moored on the walls of Big Brother and can be explored on this Red Sea liveaboard.
Daedalus Reef is a large oval reef with a lighthouse, and its walls offer some of the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea.
The thresher shark, an oceanic species, as well as the magnificent whale shark have occasionally been spotted near the reef.
Last but not least, this liveaboard ends with Elphinstone, a legendary Red Sea reef where you can expect the unexpected.

Daedalus, Rocky & Zabargad
Daedalus Reef, also known as Abu El Kizan, is the most remote of all the reefs in the Egyptian Red Sea. The islands of Rocky and Zabargad lie close together to the south-east of Ras Banas. Rocky's shear walls are covered with breathtaking forests of soft corals and sea fans. The spectacularly beautiful island of Zabargad was used as a gemstone mine in ancient times. The shear walls of Elphinstone Reef plunge steeply into the blue, richly decorated with soft corals and sea fans.

North & Brother's
The walls of the Brother's connect with the fantastic wrecks of the north of the Red Sea.

Rocky, Zabargad & St. John's
As Egypt's southernmost Red Sea diving destination, not many divers make it to St. John's, Zabargad and Rocky Island. Those that do often reiterate their belief that this is the best diving in the Red Sea. With an abundance of marine life, uncrowded dive sites and crystal clear visibility, it's easy to see why.

St. Johns is a healthy reef system located 40 kilometers southwest of Rocky Island and east of Elba National Park. Habili Ali and Habili Gafaar are two reef dives known for their abundant soft and black corals and pelagic fish species.

North & Wrecks
The North Safari is a perfect combination of wreck and reef diving. You will visit the most impressive wrecks in the northern Red Sea and experience amazing reef diving. This cruise is suitable for everyone, including snorkelers.

St. John's
St. John's is a collection of small reefs that offer some of the most spectacular underwater wildlife in the Red Sea. The Habili Ali Reef offers huge gorgonians and black corals. The Gray Reef is home to silvertip and hammerhead sharks - on its western side. Habili Gafaar is a collection of soft corals with snappers, butterfly fish and barracudas. To the north is St. John's Cave, an area where shallow cracks lead into small caves.

Fury Shoals
The Fury Shoals consist of several reefs along the southwest coast of the Red Sea and offer fantastic diving opportunities with some of the most pristine reefs in Egypt. The hard and soft corals are pristine and a highlight of many dive sites such as the Fury Shoal Garden.

North, Tiran & Dahab
This route offers you the opportunity to dive deep into the Gulf of Aqaba.
Dive through the famous Blue Hole and the canyon, past the magical Gabr El Bint dive site.

Brother’s, Daedalus & Fury
Brother’s und Daedalus sind der Ort, um die Chance zu bekommen, die „Großfische“ zu Gesicht zu bekommen,
Fury Shoals liegt im südägyptischen Teil des Roten Meeres und ist ein Mekka für Delfine. Hier gibt es unzählige schöne Riffe mit Tausenden farbenfrohen Fischen.

Abu Fandira / St. John's
St. John's and Abu Fandira is a place where there are hardly any liveaboards or divers in sight. The 6 km long reef line lies south of St. John's in an east-west direction. The different topographies of the 6 long reefs offer a wonderful view of shining coral blocks at a height of approx. 15-20 m. In addition to the reef sharks that cruise the area, you will also find large schools of fish and many species of crustaceans. Beautiful Napoleon fish and the rare humphead parrotfish live here in large numbers.
