Day 1:
In the evening, starting from 18:00 H (6 PM) onwards, transfer to the New Marina (El Wataneya) port and embark. Welcome on board, cabin arrangement, and boat briefing. Permission work with port authority, sailing very early next morning.

Day 2:
Early morning check dive at Temple or Ras Katy. Next dive is Jackfish Alley, where you can easily enter the small caves there. The third dive will be the Alternatives, a chain of seven pinnacles with numerous sand patches and resident leopard sharks. Night diving is very popular here.

Day 3:
Very early morning the boat will sail to the wreck of the Thistlegorm, the most famous of the Red Sea wrecks, maybe even worldwide. There is so much to explore, so the plan is a minimum of two dives. The first one is an orientation of the outside, and the second dive is a penetrating one. For the third dive, your boat will sail to Small Passage, where two channels cut the reef system of Shaab Mahmoud and connect the sheltered lagoon to the open sea. A night dive inside the lagoon is optional.

Day 4:
The first dive of the day will take you to the historical wreck of the Dunraven, which sank in April 1876—an old wooden wreck with plenty of room for passing through thousands of glassfish that live here in the shade of the wreck. The next dive is Shark and Yolanda Reef, the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula with an endless wall unique in the Red Sea. Sailing back towards Sharm for your third dive at Ras Zatar, Ras Ghazlani, or may be in Ras Um Sid. Return to the New Marina (El Wataneya) port and disembark till 16:00 H (4 PM) at the latest.
