Emperor Superior Itinerary

Emperor Legends

Day 1:
Once onboard, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, completion and checking of dive paperwork, cabin allocation, and boat orientation. Our boats moor in the port on arrival day, departing early the next morning. The first dive is a check dive near the port. 

Day 2-6:
This unique itinerary has been personally crafted by our Legends to showcase their favourite dive sites in the northern Red Sea. Over the course of the trip, you’ll explore iconic locations such as Ras Mohamed, the Brothers, Tiran, Thistlegorm and Panorama. Each site has been hand-picked, and the guides will share their expert knowledge and insight both underwater and back on deck, adding a truly special dimension to every dive.

A short ride across the Straits of Gubal and you visit the most famous wreck of the Red Sea, the SS Thistlegorm! An awe-inspiring World War II British vessel with a cargo full of armaments, Bedford trucks, and BSA motorbikes, which were all destined for the British troops in North Africa. She was sunk by the German Luftwaffe and now lies in 30 meters of water. Depending on divers’ experience, along with weather and current conditions, we try to offer a night dive here. Nearby is the Ras Mohamed National Park, offering a morning dive at the renowned ‘Shark and Yolanda’ reefs. Ras Mohamed National Park is the furthest Sinai destination before heading south towards the Brothers.

The Brother Islands are the pinnacles of two undersea mountains rising from the depths of the abyss and are located about 60 miles offshore from El Quseir. Part of the Marine Park Islands National Park, these islands offer stunning wall diving, with the walls covered in soft corals and forests of gorgonians, creating a kaleidoscope of ever-changing colors. They attract a diverse array of marine species and large pelagics. Big tuna, barracudas, jacks, and snappers cruise in the blue, accompanied by occasional hammerheads, silky and oceanic whitetip sharks, and mantas. Even the rare thresher shark can sometimes be found there. Sightings of the gray reef shark are almost guaranteed on the North and South Plateaux of Small Brother.

For the wreck diver, the Aida II, an Egyptian supply vessel, and the Numidia, a cargo ship, lie on the walls of the Big Brother. Both are covered in a rich growth of soft and hard corals. Marine life includes a family of Napoleon wrasse and grey reef sharks.

The boat will then sail back towards Hurghada via Safaga, where you can dive at Panorama Reef or the famous wreck of Salem Express for a memorable finale
 

Day 7:
On the last diving day, 2 dives are available in the morning whilst observing the rule of no diving within 24 hours of reaching altitude. We return to port at approximately 13.00 and moor here overnight. In the evening, we will pack up diving equipment, visit the marina, and settle any outstanding bills. 

Day 8:
Depart to the airport or hotel.
