Highlights

  • Circular route to the southern sites of Daedalus and Fury Shoal
  • Dive Daedalus Reef, the furthest offshore reef in the Egyptian Red Sea
  • Search for the oceanic whitetips and hammerheads 
  • Meet the resident dolphins of Fury Shoals’ pristine reef
  • Night dives may be possible when outside of marine parks
Day 1:
Upon arrival at Marsa Alam Airport, guests are welcomed by our friendly staff and taken to the port. Boarding begins around 3:00 PM. You will be greeted by our cruise director and the crew, stow your scuba gear and luggage, and familiarise yourself with the ship. In addition, you will receive a boat briefing.

Days 2-6:
Shaab Claudio:
Diving here is very relaxed due to the shallow depth and minimal current. A small cave system, which is very easy to explore, offers fantastic plays of light and is ideal for photographers. A beautiful hard coral garden, moray eels, and large Napoleon wrasse make this dive site even more worthwhile. Sha'ab Sataya, also known as "Dolphin House", is located in the southern part of the Fury Shoals. The horseshoe-shaped reef encompasses a huge lagoon where dolphins regularly frolic. Snorkelling here offers the opportunity to experience unforgettable moments with these playful marine mammals. The reef is also well-suited for night dives.
 
Elphinstone:
The reef is known for its two plateaus on the north and south sides, offering good chances of encountering hammerhead sharks. A frequent visitor among the dive boats is the inquisitive oceanic whitetip shark (Longimanus). Magnificent coral growth, Napoleon wrasse, and turtles make the trip to Elphinstone Reef a highlight of the tour.
 
Daedalus:
This large reef lies south of the Brothers and impresses with its pristine hard corals and the popular "Clowfish" city. However, Daedalus is most famous for its legendary schools of hammerhead sharks, which guarantee unique dives.

Day 7:
The ship is back on the penultimate day of the safari around noon. The last night is spent on board; the ship is anchored at the pier. So you can go ashore, stroll or enjoy a drink in one of the surrounding bars.

Day 8:
Check-out is around 9:00 AM on the last day, followed by transport to the airport.
