All dives are made from the Red Sea Aggressor I skiffs which are capable of carrying 10 guests each for quick access to even the most remote dive sites. The boarding ladders were designed for convenience to allow divers easy exits and entries. Guests will still be in close proximity to Egypt’s Red Sea finest diving. Skiff diving has proven itself in this location. In between dives, you may snorkel, explore secluded beaches, or just relax with a cold drink and mid-morning snack. Guests may dive up to 4-5 dives per day including night diving when possible.

You’ll be diving in water that averages 23-29C (74-84F). Most guests make as many as 5 dives each day, so some sort of protection is needed. A 3mm wetsuit in the summer and 5mm in winter should be comfortable and adequate.

Brothers/Daedalus/Elphinstone
Both island locations are in the middle of the Red Sea (~ 9 hours from coast). They are pinnacle islands, meaning that below the surface, their walls plummet hundreds of feet vertically down, without any sandy beaches or shallow reefs around. Surrounded by open ocean, chances of spotting big game, such as rays, sharks, and other pelagic predators, are very high around the islands. Grey Reef Sharks, Thresher Sharks, and Hammerhead schools are residents. Oceanic white tip at certain times of the year. 2x Wrecks on Big Brother (Aida and Numidia). One night dive is offered on this itinerary as night diving is not offered at the Brothers, regulated by the Egyptian Government, however early dawn dives are offered each morning before breakfast.

Southern Route Itinerary
Dives along the South of Egypts Red Sea. Sites like Sha’ab Claudia offer extensive reefs and coral gardens. Coral tunnels and caverns for divers to explore. Fury Shoal’s offer more exposed reefs and wall dives that attract the pelagics. Reefs such as Sha’ab Mansour and Sataya, divers go deep on the walls to see schools of barracuda and big-eye trevally and sharks. Dolphin Reef at Sataya offers a coral lagoon where divers can spend one or two dives and snorkeling with resident Spinner Dolphin pods. Great sheltered bays for night diving.

Qualified instructors and divemasters organise the diving. Thorough briefings will prepare you for the dives. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic local dive guides make sure that you don't miss the unique and elusive critter life.
