ITINERARY OVERVIEW
North & Wrecks
North and Wrecks This is the classic Red Sea itinerary. To the North of Hurghada, the Red Sea splits into two arms embracing the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Suez, and the Gulf of Aqaba. The Mediterranean is connected to the Red Sea via the man-made Suez Canal that opens to the very busy strait of Gubal, east of Hurghada. The straits of Gubal, being laden with reefs, is consequently the resting place of many shipwrecks.
North & Tiran
Similar to the Northern & Ras Mohamed itinerary, the Strait of Tiran and North cruise allows you to take in some of the most notorious wrecks and reefs the Red Sea has to offer as well as the pristine coral reefs of Tiran. The Tiran dive area is found in the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and is made up of four main reefs that form the top of an underwater bridge.
North & Brothers
This is a fascinating combination of the wrecks of the “North” and “The Brothers”. A diver’s dream come true.

Brother Island
A great all-around tour for divers with slightly more experience; this safari offers challenging dives, big drop-offs, beautiful coral walls, and plenty of large fish. There is so much to see you are spoilt for choice but don’t forget to keep an eye out in the blue. Brother Islands is a must for all die-hard Red Sea divers!
Brother & Elphinstone
The Brothers are a pair of tiny islands. Actually, they are the exposed tips of two massive reef pillars that rise from the abyssal depths. They are the only significant reefs in the area, and as such act as a magnet for any pelagic and reef fishes.
Daedalus & Fury Shoal
Daedalus is a small, isolated reef that lies in the open sea, almost halfway to Saudi Arabia. Less than 800m (0.5 miles) across, it is marked by a lighthouse which forms the only break on the horizon for many miles in any direction. The reef has steep drops on the east, north, and south sides, all offering good diving.
Brother, Daedalus & Elphinstone
Explore three of the finest dive sites in the Red Sea. A great all-around tour for divers with slightly more experience.

St. John’s
This itinerary is a beautiful way to discover the south. Deep drop-offs covered with vibrant corals in the bluest of the blue sea. Sharks and other large pelagic are common as they come into the reef and up from the deep. This is an astounding reef safari and a photographer’s dream.
Daedalus, Zabargad & Rocky Island
This tour takes in the best of what the Red Sea has to offer with a collection of some of the best dive sites, including Elphinstone, Daedalus, Rocky Island, and the Island of Zabargad. World-famous dive sites make up this memorable itinerary as interesting as it is unique…
