Mixed SUD (Daedalus – Rocky / Zabargad)

Our friendly staff will welcome you at the airport. Bus transfer from the airport to the marina. You will, then, be attributed a cabin and discover the boat.

After breakfast, your guide will tell you everything you need to know about your
programme of the week, safety recommendations and, more generally, your life on
the boat. Your diving certifications, logbook and insurance will be checked before
leaving the marina. The boat will then sail to the first dive site, 30 minutes away from
the marina. Your guide will give you a detailed briefing about your first dive. After
lunch you will do your second dive.

At sunrise, you will start your day of diving on the Daedalus falls. Your guide will
suggest three dives. This reef offers you ten different dives. You will make 2 dives
north of the reef for perhaps the chance to observe hammerhead sharks. In the
afternoon, you will dive west of the reef where the coral diversity is impressive. This
slope also offers perfect light in the afternoon. Between dives, you will have the
opportunity to visit the Daedalus lighthouse. In the early evening, after dinner, the
boat will continue its journey all night south to arrive in the early morning under the
Tropic of Cancer at Rocky Island and Zabargad.

You will make three dives around the Rocky and Zabargad islands. The navigation
times between the sites vary from 30 to 45 minutes between the islands. The dive
sites are carefully chosen by your guide depending on the weather and the
number of boats on the sites.

In the early morning, the captain and his crew will take you to the Saint John's sites.
Three dives will be offered to you. Navigation times between sites vary between 30
minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes in the Saint John's area. The dive sites are carefully
chosen by your guide depending on the weather and the number of boats on the
sites.

That day, we will start the ascent to the 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 the dolphins. We will then continue our ascent 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 mythical
Elphinstone Reef. You will make 2 dives there, before sailing another two hours to
arrive in the early afternoon at the Port Ghalib marina. You can use the platform to
rinse your equipment. Your guide will also suggest various extra diving activities to
keep you busy on Friday afternoon.

Departure from the boat will be after breakfast or according to your flight and transfer schedules to the airport or hotel.
