Highlights

  • One-way itinerary aiming to get up close and personal with sharks
  • Experience the current swept pinnacles of Brothers Islands National Park
  • Dive Daedalus Reef, the furthest offshore reef in the Egyptian Red Sea
  • Search for the oceanic whitetips and hammerheads of Elphinstone
  • Explore the wrecks of the Aida II and Numidia, both found at Brothers
  • Night dives possible outside of marine parks
Day 1:
The boat will remain in the marina overnight, enabling guests to relax, get to know each other, and set up equipment in preparation for diving the following day.

Day 2:
Visit dive sites local to your departure port for three dives (a check dive, practice zodiac dive and night dive) before heading out to the marine parks. 

Days 3-6:
We normally plan to spend a day at one of the Brothers Islands, Daedalus and the Elphinstone area. Normally you will have the opportunity to make three dives per day (night dives are not permitted in the marine parks).

Day 7:
After a week of drop-offs, enjoy two relaxed morning dives local to your arrival port, allowing you to cruise into harbour in the early afternoon. Take advantage of an evening onshore to purchase souvenirs and enjoy Egypt's famous hospitality before your journey home the next day.

Day 8:
Check out after breakfast at around 09.00 - 10.00.

Sample itineraries are for guidance only. Actual itineraries may differ slightly due to factors such as weather, wildlife, logistics, and local regulations.
