Our team will welcome you at the airport. You will be transferred by bus to the marina. Your cabin will then be assigned, and you will have the opportunity to explore the boat.
After breakfast, a welcome briefing will be presented by the guide, covering the week's itinerary, onboard safety instructions, etc. Your diving documents and insurance will be checked before leaving the marina. The captain will head to the first diving site, just 30 minutes from departure, where the briefing for the "refresher" dive will take place. After lunch, you will perform the second dive of the day in the Hurghada area before continuing your journey northward to reach El Gouna, where you will spend the night at a site sheltered from the waves.
On this third day of the cruise, you will have the opportunity to explore the island of Tiran. Located near the tip of Sinai, this island offers three unique dives at three different sites. The first dive site, Thomas Reef, features a rich drop-off and a plateau to the west, where you may be lucky enough to spot sharks. You will then dive at Jackson Reef, followed by a dive at Gordon Reef. Afterward, you will head towards Ras Abou Gallum.
Early in the morning, you will perform your first dive at Ras Abou Gallum. Three dives are offered in this protected area, teeming with life. The first dive will be on a drop- off, followed by two more dives in magnificent coral gardens.
On the fifth day of the cruise, you will have the opportunity to explore the internationally renowned diving and snorkeling site, the Blue Hole in Dahab. Afterward, you will dive at a site known as the Canyon, followed by a third dive at the Island, a stunning coral garden that is sure to amaze you.
At dawn, the boat will head towards Ras Mohamed Marine Park where you will dive twice on the breathtaking drop-offs, surrounded by thousands of colorful fish. After lunch, the boat will travel northwest. The third dive of the day will take place at the legendary wreck of the SS Thistlegorm, discovered by Cousteau in the 1950s.
Today, you will dive at least twice on the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm. Then, you will sail for two hours across the Strait of Gubal to reach the small island of Gubal, where you will make the third dive of the day.
In the morning, you will conduct your first two dives on wrecks. After lunch, the captain and his crew will take you further south towards Hurghada, where you will perform the third dive of the day. Depending on demand, your guide may organize a night dive. The boat will moor behind a reef for the night to stay sheltered from the waves. This schedule may be modified by your guide depending on weather conditions.
On the ninth day, you’ll dive at the iconic Brother Islands, starting with Big Brother’s dramatic coral walls and possible shark sightings. Next, explore Little Brother’s vibrant marine life and stunning soft corals. A third dive will wrap up this incredible day.
Three dives are 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 local keepers.
You will perform three dives around Rocky and Zabargad islands. The navigation time between sites varies from 30 to 45 minutes. Dive sites are carefully selected by your guide based on the weather and the number of boats at each site.
Early in the morning, the captain and his crew will take you to the dive sites at St. John's. Three dives are planned for the day. The navigation times between sites in the St. John's area vary between 30 minutes and 1 hour and 30 minutes. Dive sites are carefully chosen by your guide based on the weather conditions and the number of boats present.
Today, we begin our journey northward. En route, 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 north to the Sheleneyat site in the Wadi Gemal area, where the third dive of the day will take place at twilight or night.
In the early morning, you will arrive in the Marsa Alam area, at the legendary Elphinstone Reef. You will conduct two dives there, before sailing for another two hours to reach Port Ghalib Marina in the early afternoon. You can use the rear platform to rinse your gear. Your guide will also offer various non-diving activities to keep you entertained on Friday afternoon.
Depart from the boat after breakfast or earlier depending on your transfer time to the airport or hotel.
