Our team will welcome you at the airport. Transfer by bus to the Marina. Your cabin will then be assigned to you and you can finally discover the boat.
After breakfast, a welcome briefing (week organization, safety instructions on board, etc.) will be presented by the guide. A check of your diving documents and insurance will be carried out before leaving the marina. The captain will set sail towards the first diving site 30 minutes after departure, during which the "refresher" dive briefing will be conducted.
After lunch, you will make the second dive of the day in the Hurghada area, before continuing your navigation to the north to arrive in the El Gouna area where you will spend the night in a sheltered site from the waves.
For the third day of the cruise, you will have the opportunity to explore the island of Tiran. This island, near the tip of Sinai, offers three unique dives on three different sites. The first diving site, Thomas reef, will allow you to explore a rich drop-off and a plateau to the west, where you may have the chance to encounter sharks. You will then dive at Jackson reef, followed by a dive at Gordon. You will then head towards Ras Abou Gallum.
In the early morning, you will make your first dive at Ras Abou Gallum. Three dives will be offered in this protected area, which is teeming with life. The first dive on a drop-off, the other two on magnificent coral gardens.
For the fifth day of the cruise, you will have the chance to discover the Blue Hole of Dahab, a diving and snorkeling site of international renown. You will then have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the diving site called the Canyon, then, as a third dive, the Island, a sublime coral garden that will amaze you.
At dawn, the boat will sail to the Ras Mohammed marine park where you will dive twice on dizzying drop-offs surrounded by thousands of colorful fish. After lunch, the boat will head northwest. The third dive will take place on the legendary wreck of the SS Thistlegorm, discovered by Cousteau in the 1950s.
On this day, you will dive at least twice on the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm. Then you will sail for two hours to cross the Gubal strait to reach the small island of Gubla where you will make the third dive.
In the morning, you will make two first dives on wrecks. After lunch, the captain and his crew will take you further south towards Hurghada, where you will make the third dive of the day.
Depending on demand, your guide can organize a night dive. The boat will anchor behind a reef for the night to remain sheltered from the waves. This program may be modified by your guide depending on weather conditions.
Having arrived the day before on site, you will make three dives during the day on the magnificent drop-offs of the Brothers. Due to a new regulation aimed at protecting the marine ecosystem, cruise ships are no longer allowed to spend more than one day on the Brothers islands. The boat will then sail all night to Daedalus, to arrive in the early morning.
Three dives will be offered at the Daedalus site, a potential meeting place with hammerhead sharks. A visit to the lighthouse may be organized by your guide depending on agreements with the guardians on site.
You will make 3 dives around Rocky and Zabargad islands. The navigation time between sites varies from 30 to 45 minutes. Dive sites are carefully chosen by your guide according to weather and the number of boats at the sites.
In the early morning, the captain and his crew will take you to the St. John's sites. Three dives will be offered. Navigation times between sites vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes in the St. John's area. Dive sites are carefully chosen by your guide depending on weather and the number of boats at the sites.
This day we will start the journey back north. On the way, we will stop at Sataya (Dolphin House) located in the Fury Shoals area, where you may have the opportunity to swim with dolphins. We will then continue our journey to the Sheleneyat site in the Wadi Gemal area, where the third dive of the day will take place at dusk or at night.
In the early morning, you will arrive in the Marsa Alam area, on the legendary Elphinstone reef. You will make 2 dives, before sailing for another two hours to arrive in Port Ghalib marina in the early afternoon. You can use the rear platform to rinse your equipment. Your guide will also offer various non-diving activities to keep you busy on Friday afternoon.
Boat departure after breakfast or before depending on your transfer time to the airport or hotel.
