Routes and availability

North & Tiran
This Red Sea dive route brings together the most famous wrecks in the northern Red Sea with incredible dives along stunning walls and hard coral reefs.
You'll get to dive the famous four wrecks of Abu Nuhas, often called the 'ship graveyard'. This reef is super close to the shipping lane for the Suez Canal and has claimed more ships than any other in the Red Sea. These wrecks are incredibly scenic, covered in corals, and just perfect for photography, especially the Carnatic, which went down in 1869.

Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone
The Brother Islands are the peaks of two underwater mountains rising from the deep, and you can explore them 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, rest against the walls of Big Brother and can be explored on this Red Sea liveaboard trip.
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.
Thresher sharks, an oceanic species, as well as the magnificent whale shark have occasionally been spotted near the reef.
Last but not least, this dive safari ends with Elphinstone, a legendary Red Sea reef where you can expect the unexpected.

Daedalus, Rocky & Zabargad
Daedalus Reef, also called Abu El Kizan, is the furthest reef from the coast in the Egyptian Red Sea. Rocky and Zabargad islands are super close to each other, southeast of Ras Banas. Rocky's sheer walls are absolutely covered in stunning forests of soft and fan corals. Zabargad Island is incredibly beautiful and was even used as a gemstone mine way back in ancient times. The sheer walls of Elphinstone Reef drop steeply into the blue, all decked out with soft and fan corals.

North & Brother’s
The walls of the Brother's reefs link up with the amazing wrecks in the northern Red Sea.

Rocky, Zabargad & St. John’s
Rocky, Zabargad & St. John's are Egypt's southernmost dive spots in the Red Sea, so not many divers get to visit them. But those who do often say it's the best diving in the Red Sea! With tons of marine life, uncrowded sites, and super clear water, it's easy to see why.

St. Johns is a super healthy reef system, about 40 kilometers southwest of Rocky Island and just east of Elba National Park. You'll find two amazing reef dives there, Habili Ali and Habili Gafaar, famous for their loads of soft and black corals, plus all sorts of pelagic fish.

North & Wrecks
The North Safari is the perfect mix of wreck and reef diving. You'll get to explore the most incredible wrecks in the northern Red Sea and enjoy some truly stunning reef dives. This trip is great for everyone, even if you just want to snorkel!

St. John’s
St. John's is a cluster of small reefs that give you some of the most amazing underwater wildlife photos in the Red Sea. Habili Ali reef boasts huge gorgonians and black corals. The Grey Reef is where you might spot silvertip and hammerhead sharks on its west side. Habili Gafaar is packed with soft corals, snappers, butterflyfish, and barracudas. And up north, you'll find St. John's Cave, a cool spot where shallow cracks open up into tiny caves.

Fury Shoals
The Fury Shoals are made up of several reefs along the southwest coast of the Red Sea, offering incredible diving with some of Egypt's most untouched reefs. The hard and soft corals are simply pristine and a major highlight at many dive spots, like the Fury Shoal Garden.

North, Tiran & Dahab
This route gives you the chance to dive deep into the Gulf of Aqaba.
You'll get to explore the famous Blue Hole and the Canyon, passing by the magical dive site Gabr El Bint.

Brother’s, Daedalus & Fury
Brother's and Daedalus are where you'll get the chance to spot some 'big fish'.
Fury Shoals, located in the southern Egyptian Red Sea, is a real hotspot for dolphins. You'll find countless beautiful reefs here, teeming with thousands of colorful fish.

Abu Fandira / St. John’s
At Abu Fandira and St. John's, you'll find hardly any other liveaboards or divers around! This 6 km long reef line stretches east to west, just south of St. John's. The varied shapes of these six long reefs give you stunning views of vibrant coral blocks, rising about 15-20 meters high. Besides the reef sharks cruising by, you'll also spot huge schools of fish and lots of different crustaceans. Plus, there are tons of beautiful Napoleon fish and even the rare humphead parrotfish living here!
