MV Blue

Brothers, Daedalus, Elphinstone (Port Ghalib - Hurghada) 8D/7N

Explore three of the most beautiful dive sites in the Red Sea. A great all-round tour for divers with a little more experience. There is so much to see that you will be spoilt for choice, but don't forget to keep your eyes peeled in the blue. This safari offers challenging dives, large drop-offs, beautiful coral walls and plenty of big fish. Brother Islands, Daedalus & Elphinstone is a must for all die-hard Red Sea divers!

Big Brother: A 400-meter-long island that offers fabulous wreck diving and wall diving. The wreck of the Numidia lies at the northern tip between 10 and 80 meters. On the northwest side of the island is the wreck of the Aida. On every section of this reef, the wall is covered with coral and life.

Small Brother: Has a very high concentration of life in a very small space. Fan coral forests, overhangs, hard and soft corals in a variety of amazing colours... and of course there are plenty of fish! With regular sightings of hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks, grey sharks and whitetip reef sharks, at the right time of year.

Daedalus: Around 180km south of the Brother Islands, this huge reef is surrounded by a steep wall and strong currents that make for fantastic drift diving. The hard corals grow to huge sizes, but make sure you keep an eye on the blue too!

Elphinstone Reef: A Red Sea legend. One of the most beautiful reefs, with its north and south plateau covered in hard and soft corals and hosting pelagic reefs, this really is a fantastic reef.

Marine life: wrecks, rays, oceanic whitetip sharks, octopuses, lionfish, nudibranchs, frogfish, huge schools of fish, colourful reefs

North & Tiran (Hurghada - Hurghada). 8D/7N

Similar to the North and Ras Mohamed itinerary, cruising the Strait of Tiran and North allows you to see some of the Red Sea's most notorious wrecks and reefs, as well as the pristine coral reefs of Tiran. The Tiran diving area is located at the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba and consists of four main reefs that form the tip of an underwater bridge. These reefs, named after British cartographers (Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, Gordon), are world famous for their exceptional variety of corals and strong southwesterly currents make them home to many large pelagic fish.

SS. Thistlegorm - Shaab Ali: Probably the most famous wreck in the Red Sea. The 129m English freighter was bombed by German aircraft on October 6, 1941. Today she creates an artificial reef on a sandy bottom at a maximum depth of 32m. It is home to a huge variety of marine life and is particularly popular with large schooling fish.

Shaab Mahmoud: This is a small crack in the middle of Shaab Mahmoud's barrier. Drift along the outer wall, alongside beautiful coral and colourful fish. Look for a sandy slope that will take you up and through the crack. If the current is right, you can fly through the 5m deep channel and be thrown out over the sandy lagoon!

Shag Rock: This large circular reef is often overlooked but offers excellent diving on pristine coral from any location on its edge.

Abu Nuhas: Also known as the 'ship graveyard', this reef is precariously located close to the busy shipping lanes of the Gulf of Suez. This reef has claimed more ships than any other in the area. On the north side, four wrecks lie on a sandy seabed at the base of a steeply sloping reef covered in table coral. On the south side there is a safe anchorage for liveaboards and two ergs known as Yellow Fish Reef.

Marine life: wrecks, rays, sharks, octopus, lionfish, nudibranchs, frogfish, huge schools of fish, colourful reef.

St. John (Port Ghalib - Port Ghalib). 8D/7N

This tour is a bit more challenging and offers large drop-offs covered in giant gorgonians and colorful soft corals. On this safari, divers have the opportunity to explore a variety of truly unique dive sites that offer some very interesting and...

Cave Reef is located an hour north of the main St. John's area. Have fun navigating through tunnels and around pinnacles. A beautiful Red Sea dive site.

St. John's Reef: Located on the Tropic of Cancer, this reef chain is the southernmost reef chain you will reach! All the dive sites are very close to each other, meaning you can easily move from one place to another. It therefore brings a lot of variety to your dives: drop-offs, tunnels and stunning hard coral formations. One of these dives (St. John's Caves or Umm Kharalim) is truly unique and a photographer's paradise, with rays of light penetrating the beautiful tunnels.

St. John's Reef North: Located an hour north of the main St. John's area, have fun navigating through tunnels and around pinnacles.

Fury Shoal: A huge chain of reefs that create a variety of excellent dive sites including Abu Galawa to the north and Sataya to the south. Have fun exploring caves, tunnels, coral gardens, plateaus and drop-offs! Abu Galawa is located in Fury Shoal - have fun exploring the wreck of 'Tug Boat'. The reef also has good coral diving on the west side.

Marine Life: Rays, sharks, octopus, lionfish, nudibranchs, frogfish, huge schools of fish, brightly colored reefs, deep drop-offs covered in vibrant coral in the bluest of the blue sea. Sharks and other large pelagics are common as they come in and out of the reef. This is an amazing reef safari and a photographer's dream.
