Day 1:
On arrival day, a transfer is offered from the airport to the vessel, ready for check-in at 17:00. Once on board, you will be assigned your accommodation, receive a boat briefing, and select any rental equipment. The boat will spend the night in Port Ghalib.

Days 2-6: 
Combine some of Egypt’s best southern Red Sea dive destinations.

Rocky Island hosts a fringing reef that circles the entire perimeter of the island, dropping steeply to astonishing depths, although the most interesting features and life are found above 12 m. Watch the blue for life,, but take care,, as there can be strong currents.

The island of Zabargad is an amazing dive spot. It is characterized by an enormous mountain reaching out of the water, surrounded by a lagoon and circling reef. There are a couple of wrecks and a great variety of corals and reef fish.

Located on the Tropic of Cancer, St. John’s Reef is the furthest south you will get in the Egyptian Red Sea. All its dive sites are very close to each other,, which means that you can easily move from one place to another. It therefore adds a lot of variety to your dives: drop-offs, tunnels,, and stunning hard-coral formations. One of these dives (St. John’s Caves or Umm Kharalim) is truly unique and is a photographer’s heaven with rays of light filtering through into the beautiful tunnels.

Day 7:
 In the afternoon, the boat will enter the harbor. Your luggage will be brought from the storage to prepare all your personal things. 

Day 8:
Check out after breakfast and before 10:00.
