The Aida II, an Egyptian supply ship, and the Numidia, a cargo ship, rest along the walls of Big Brother, and you can discover them on this Red Sea liveaboard trip.
Daedalus Reef is a large oval reef with a lighthouse. Its reef walls offer some of the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea. You might even spot thresher sharks, an oceanic species, or the magnificent whale shark near the reef! And last but not least, this dive safari wraps up with Elphinstone, a legendary Red Sea reef where you can truly expect the unexpected.
St. John's (from/to Port Ghalib)
St. John's is a collection of small reefs that boast some of the Red Sea's most spectacular underwater wildlife. Habili Ali Reef features huge gorgonians and black corals. Thanks to currents from the north, you might spot grey reef sharks, hammerheads, or even silvertip sharks at the east and west tips. The Grey Reef is home to silvertip and hammerhead sharks on its western side. Habili Gaafar is a vibrant collection of soft corals, teeming with snappers, butterflyfish, and barracudas.
