The BlueForce2, a proven safari submersible in the Red Sea
The very comfortable BlueForce 2 is a tried and tested safari boat in the Red Sea. It fulfils all the wishes a diver could imagine. With a maximum of 18 divers, there is always enough space to retreat or simply lie in the sun. Various routes are offered, our favourite is the North Wreck Tour.
The Red Sea is known for its extraordinary underwater world, which fascinates with colourful coral reefs, an enormous biodiversity and a variety of sea creatures - including sharks, dolphins, sea turtles and countless tropical fish species. The visibility in the crystal clear water is often up to 30 metres, and the pleasant water temperatures allow diving all year round.
The comfortable Red Sea Blue Force 2 safari boat can accommodate 18 divers in 10 cabins. Each cabin has 2 single beds, air conditioning, private bathroom with shower. In addition, you can choose between a cabin on the lower and upper deck. The common areas include the main deck with salon with TV, DVD player and dining area. On the upper deck there is a large sundeck with sun loungers and beanbags.
The dives on board the Red Sea Blue Force 2 start from the spacious dive deck, which is located at the back of the boat. Two inflatable boats take guests to the dive sites. The 3 tours to choose from cover everything the Red Sea has to offer. The tours lead to the northern dive sites off the Brother Islands, the wreck of the Thistlegorm and Ras Mohammed & Abu Nuhas as well as south to the Elphinstone & Daedalus Reef, the Fury Shoals and further south to the area around St. John's Island.

Some highlights of the route are:
STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Straits of Tiran is actually a submerged mountain ridge rising from more than 300 meters deep and stretching from the southeastern point of Sinai to Tiran Island. It is basically a passage between the Gulf of Aqaba and the main basin of the Red Sea, forming an area of strong tidal currents.
In the strait we find 4 reefs famous for the quality of their corals and the abundance of marine life. Large sightings of oceanic fauna are typical.
GORDON REEF
A circular reef with a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia has been lying just above the reef since 1983, making it an excellent landmark.
Very suitable for check dives on the south plateau and also some super nice drift dives along the east and west walls. Night dives are spectacular, although we can only sleep here if the weather permits.
THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and when conditions are calm it is possible to go around the entire reef. There are no anchorages on Thomas Reef, so all dives are done as drift dives.
On the south plateau we find Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a crack starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96 meters. The walls of Thomas Reef are completely covered with soft corals and many gorgonian fan corals and black coral trees. In the blue there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish passing by and sometimes even hammerhead sharks are spotted.
WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef in Tiran, long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plunges into the depths. There is also an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for technical divers. In the area of the canyon we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the region due to the quality of the corals, the abundance of wildlife and the encounters with pelagic life. It is a round reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the western side. It is constantly whipped by strong, sometimes extremely strong currents and is great for wild drift dives, encounters with big fish and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) live in the northern area.
Also on the northern side we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship that ran aground on Jackson Reef in 1983.
Ras Mohammed National Park
ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in the Red Sea and is considered one of the best dive sites in the world. We start in the town of Anemones, where dozens of giant anemones (Magnificent heteractis) can be found, which house a variety of clownfish and damsels. From here we jump into the blue and cross the depths to the walls of the Ha Reef.
Along the way there are possible sightings; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there we continue into shallower waters between the two reefs. Here you can see parts of the cargo ship Yolanda, which hit the reef and gave it its name. Among the wreckage you will find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain's BMW. The area around the wreck is often home to lionfish, blue-spotted rays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is littered with rocks covered in coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts beautifully with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflected from the bottom and the colorful reefs make this a photographer's paradise.
MACKER ALLEY
The traditional dive starts with a cave at 5 meters deep, which is actually a swim through that comes out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack in the roof lets the sun's rays through. From here we swim on to a long sandal
