Itineraries

North route

The Northern Red Sea and Straits of Tiran provide some of the most historic wrecks like the Thistlegorm and Abu Nuhas. Ras Mohamed National Park includes many pristine coral reefs as well as abundant marine life. The Straits of Tiran are the narrow sea passages between the Sinai and Arabian peninsulas which separates the Gulf of Aqaba from the Red Sea. These reefs, named after British cartographers (Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, Gordon), are world famous for their extraordinary diversity of corals and pelagics.

South – BDE

The South Red Sea is a challenging but rewarding diving destination. The currents in the South Red Sea can be strong, so divers should be experienced and comfortable with drift diving. However, the rewards of diving in the South Red Sea are great. The reefs are home to some of the most beautiful and diverse coral in the world, and the marine life is abundant.

Elba Reef & St Johns

Elba Reef is located at the Halaib Triangle on the Egyptian and Sudanese border with very nice plateaus on its North and South side. It is a triangle- shaped reef. The Plateau in the North is long and starts at around 20 m and ends at around 45 m depth. At the edge of the plateau plenty of huge coral fans can be found.  

Sataya & Fury Shoals – St Johns

The Fury Shoals are a group of reefs located in the southwest Red Sea, off the coast of Egypt about 5 hours sailing away from Marsa alam.  Sataya is a crescent-shaped reef that stretches 2 kilometers long and is home to hundreds of spinner dolphins. John’s reefs consisting of ten bank reefs, which extend 29 km from east to west and roughly 10 km from north to south. They are located 10 sailing hours from Marsa alam.

Deep South – Daedalus – Rocky & Zabargad

Daedalus Reef called in Arabic “Abu Kizan” or “Abu El Kizan”. Like the Brother Islands, the Daedalus Reef was created due to volcanic activity caused by the shifting of the continental plates and the small island, which surrounds a very large fringing reef, is the end of a reef pillar that protrudes from the depths. Another thing they have in common is the lighthouse, which was built in 1863 and is also operated by the Egyptian military today.

Fury Shoals & Daedalus

Daedalus Reef is a remote outpost of a reef, less than a kilometer wide and marked by a lighthouse, some 80 km offshore from Marsa Alam. Its isolation means it is not frequently visited and this, together with its marine park status, means its reefs are in mint condition and it’s one of the best scuba dives in the Red Sea. As with the comparable Brothers, strong currents tend to run from north to south along the steep walls of this outcrop and winds can cause surface swells and waves to lash the reef. However, the incredible action below the surface can make the challenging conditions seem all worth it.

Saudi Arabia – Farasan Banks

we also cruise the breathtaking liveaboard across the Farasan Banks of Saudi Arabia. The cruise departure location is the port of Al Lith, which is situated 210 kilometers south of Jeddah. It is simple to spot families of whale sharks keen on eating the abundant plankton present under the coast in these seas a few miles from the harbor. A sizable archipelago of tiny islands and coral reefs, many of which are semi-surfacing, makes up Farasan Banks. Seven Sisters and Five Corals are excellent diving destinations. They offer a variety of diving opportunities, from shallow reefs to deep walls. The marine life at both sites is diverse and abundant.
