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.
Check dive at Temple. The next dive is Jackfish Alley, where you can easily enter the small caves there. The third dive will be at the Alternatives, seven pinnacles with numerous sand patches and resident leopard sharks. If you like night diving, then Alternatives will be a great location to jump in.
The boat sails to the wreck of the Thistlegorm and spends a minimum of two dives there. The first will be an outside orientation, and the second will give you the chance to look inside. The third dive of the day will be at Small Passage. A night dive inside the lagoon is possible here.
The first dive of the day is the historical wreck of the Dunraven, which sank in 1876. The next dive site is inside Ras Mohammed National Park at the famous Shark & Yolanda Reef. Then travel north to the Gulf of Aqaba and the Strait of Tiran to do a third dive at Gordon Reef. Normally the boat will spend the night at the South Lagoon, where a night dive is possible.
You start your first dive on Jackson Reef, the most northern dive site in the Strait of Tiran. After breakfast, we visit either Thomas or Woodhouse Reef. The third dive of the day will be decided onboard on the way back to Sharm at either Ras Nasrani, Ras Ghamila, or Ras Um Sid. Return to the New Marina (El Wataneya) port and disembark till 16:00 H (4 PM) at the latest.
