Trip itinerary

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.

Day 2 :
GOTA SHARM

After breakfast, your guide will tell you everything you need to know about your program 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 sail for about two hours heading south to reach the dive site called “Gota Sharm” where you will do your second dive. After dinner, the boat will sail all night long, crossing the Tropic of Cancer on its way, to reach the Saint John's reef area at the break of dawn.

Saint John's Reef : 3 dives will be organised. The sailing time between the dive sites varies from 15 to 30 min. The dive sites are carefully selected by your guide according to the weather forecast and the number of boats already moored on the site. For a quiet and peaceful night, you will spend the night moored behind a big reef.

At sunrise, the captain and his crew will take you to another fantastic dive site of Saint John's reef for another great day of diving.

After a final dive at St. John’s Reef, we head north for a legendary dive at the caves of Um Kararim. Next, we'll arrive at Sataya (Dolphin House) in the Fury Shoals, with a chance to snorkel with dolphins, depending on the light. The third dive will take place at dusk or night, with the boat anchored at Sataya Reef for the night.

If the dolphin snorkeling session wasn’t done the day before, we will organize it this morning, followed by two dives on stunning Fury Shoals reefs. After lunch, we'll sail north for 5 hours to "Sheleneyat," where the third dive will be at dusk or night, depending on arrival time. After dinner, enjoy a surprise Egyptian event hosted by the captain and crew.

Day 7 :
MARSA ALAM

The boat will sail for 45 minutes to your first dive site of the day. After breakfast, we'll head north for two hours to the Marsa Alam area for the final dive. Afterward, you can rinse your gear on the diving deck before a 30-minute sail to the marina, with an estimated arrival at 2:00 PM. Your guide will provide details about leisure activities available in Marsa Alam for an enjoyable Friday afternoon.
