RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Besides, Blue Force Diving won’t commit itself to make any deduction for that.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Let us help you discover the many routes we offer aboard the Red Sea Blue Force 2, where you will enjoy living the famous “Blue Force Experience” much more than a diving vacation!

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.

Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

If the diver doesn’t hold the required certificate or the guide in charge of going along with the divers considers, for any reason, that the client is not qualified for some dive, he will have full authority not to allow the client for such dive. Besides, Blue Force Diving won’t commit itself to make any deduction for that.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

Please do not throw the used toilet paper or other hygiene items into the toilet under any circumstances, but use the containers set up for this purpose, otherwise, the toilets may become blocked. A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

Please use soap and shower products sparingly, because the wastewater enters the sea untreated. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly products are already on sale.

Can I rent diving equipment on the ship?

Yes, please contact us before your arrival.

What diving equipment should I take with me?

Complete replacement equipment is usually on board the ships.

Since it is not possible to procure spare parts during the liveaboard, bring the appropriate spare parts such as Fin strap, O-ring set for the regulator, etc. even with.

In addition to conventional equipment, the following are mandatory for every diver: diving computer or depth gauge and watch, a safety buoy and a diving lamp.

The regulator must be equipped with an alternative air supply.

Diving equipment, diving lamps and diving computers can be borrowed upon advance notification.

These items are not insured, so you are fully liable for loss and damage.

What needs to be considered with Nitrox?

As a Nitrox diver, you can bring your own analyzer. An analyzer is on board. The training for the Nitrox basic license can be completed on board during the holiday. On the ships of Blue Planet Liveaboards, there is NITROX 32 – diving with 15-liter bottles possible. With standard equipment, you can easily dive NITROX 32 (EAN32). If the Nitrox system is not available for technical reasons, there is no entitlement to reimbursement.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

Please do not throw the used toilet paper or other hygiene items into the toilet under any circumstances, but use the containers set up for this purpose, otherwise, the toilets may become blocked. A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

Please use soap and shower products sparingly, because the wastewater enters the sea untreated. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly products are already on sale.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish.

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.

It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world.

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.

In the Strait, we find 4 reefs that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

In the Strait, we find 4 reefs that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN

On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom.

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours.

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world.

It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Certified as Open Water diver or similar (we recommend Advanced), dive computer, torch for night dives (possibility of renting them on the boat if reserved previously).
The diver is responsible for holding the corresponding Diving Certificate for dives to be done. If the diver doesn’t hold the required certificate or the guide in charge of going along with the divers considers, for any reason, that the client is not qualified for some dive, he will have full authority not to allow the client for such dive. Besides, Blue Force Diving won’t commit itself to make any deduction for that.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

Please do not throw the used toilet paper or other hygiene items into the toilet under any circumstances, but use the containers set up for this purpose, otherwise, the toilets may become blocked. A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

Please use soap and shower products sparingly, because the wastewater enters the sea untreated. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly products are already on sale.

Can I rent diving equipment on the ship?

Yes, please contact us before your arrival.

What diving equipment should I take with me?

Complete replacement equipment is usually on board the ships.

Since it is not possible to procure spare parts during the liveaboard, bring the appropriate spare parts such as Fin strap, O-ring set for the regulator, etc. even with.

In addition to conventional equipment, the following are mandatory for every diver: diving computer or depth gauge and watch, a safety buoy and a diving lamp.

The regulator must be equipped with an alternative air supply.

Diving equipment, diving lamps and diving computers can be borrowed upon advance notification.

These items are not insured, so you are fully liable for loss and damage.

What needs to be considered with Nitrox?

As a Nitrox diver, you can bring your own analyzer. An analyzer is on board. The training for the Nitrox basic license can be completed on board during the holiday. On the ships of Blue Planet Liveaboards, there is NITROX 32 – diving with 15-liter bottles possible. With standard equipment, you can easily dive NITROX 32 (EAN32).

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 

NOTICE:
Egyptian authorities oblige all divers who make this route to fulfill the following prerequisites:

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

Please use soap and shower products sparingly, because the wastewater enters the sea untreated. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly products are already on sale.

Can I rent diving equipment on the ship?

Yes, please contact us before your arrival.

What diving equipment should I take with me?

Complete replacement equipment is usually on board the ships.

Since it is not possible to procure spare parts during the liveaboard, bring the appropriate spare parts such as Fin strap, O-ring set for the regulator, etc. even with.

In addition to conventional equipment, the following are mandatory for every diver: diving computer or depth gauge and watch, a safety buoy and a diving lamp.

The regulator must be equipped with an alternative air supply.

Diving equipment, diving lamps and diving computers can be borrowed upon advance notification.

These items are not insured, so you are fully liable for loss and damage.

What needs to be considered with Nitrox?

As a Nitrox diver, you can bring your own analyzer. An analyzer is on board. The training for the Nitrox basic license can be completed on board during the holiday. On the ships of Blue Planet Liveaboards, there is NITROX 32 – diving with 15-liter bottles possible. With standard equipment, you can easily dive NITROX 32 (EAN32).

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

In the Strait, we find 4 reefs that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world.

It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.

At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 

NOTICE:
Egyptian authorities oblige all divers who make this route to fulfill the following prerequisites:
Certified as Open Water diver or similar (we recommend Advanced), dive computer, torch for night dives (possibility of renting them on the boat if reserved previously)

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found.

Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots….

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours.

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world.

It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Let us help you discover the many routes we offer aboard the Red Sea Blue Force 2, where you will enjoy living the famous “Blue Force Experience” much more than a diving vacation!

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found.

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The diver is responsible for holding the corresponding Diving Certificate for dives to be done.

Besides, Blue Force Diving won’t commit itself to make any deduction for that.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

Please do not throw the used toilet paper or other hygiene items into the toilet under any circumstances, but use the containers set up for this purpose, otherwise, the toilets may become blocked. A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

Please use soap and shower products sparingly, because the wastewater enters the sea untreated. Biodegradable and environmentally friendly products are already on sale.

Can I rent diving equipment on the ship?

Yes, please contact us before your arrival.

What diving equipment should I take with me?

Complete replacement equipment is usually on board the ships.

Since it is not possible to procure spare parts during the liveaboard, bring the appropriate spare parts such as Fin strap, O-ring set for the regulator, etc. even with.

In addition to conventional equipment, the following are mandatory for every diver: diving computer or depth gauge and watch, a safety buoy and a diving lamp.

The regulator must be equipped with an alternative air supply.

Diving equipment, diving lamps and diving computers can be borrowed upon advance notification.

These items are not insured, so you are fully liable for loss and damage.

What needs to be considered with Nitrox?

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours.

In the Strait, we find 4 reefs that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 

NOTICE:
Egyptian authorities oblige all divers who make this route to fulfill the following prerequisites:
Certified as Open Water diver or similar (we recommend Advanced), dive computer, torch for night dives (possibility of renting them on the boat if reserved previously)

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 6 days of intensive diving, boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh

   

The REEFS AND WRECKS Route is the most complete route in the North of the Red Sea and It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a very complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven; Giannis D, Carnatic, Ulysses and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack or Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.

 

On this route we offer 7 days liveaboard with  6 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE ARE:

 

STRAIT OF TIRAN

The Strait of Tiran, is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 which are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

Ras Mohammed National Park

 

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF

The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrast nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY

The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

 

RAS GHOZLANI

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.

 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM

The worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh. It was sunk by German aircrafts in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skiddish lantern fish!

 

CARNATIC

A maximum depth of 26 meters will permit us to dive on this British cargo ship that went down in 1869.   This beautiful and very authentic old ship, lies on her port side, and her wooden beams and internal structures are covered in soft corals and glass fish. Her bow and stern are intact, yet the mid ship has disappeared. Barrels and a few broken wine bottles are all that remain of her cargo.

 

GIANNIS D

This Greek cargo ship was transporting wood. This is a magnificent dive, especially for photographers and wreckies who will be able to dive through her engine room, which is home to innumerable glass fish. The boat lies at a depth of 24 meters, with her whole mid ship completely destroyed yet her bow and stern, which lies on a 45º angle, are intact. Her cabins, helms room and common quarters have been cleared up to permit safe dives through the ship.

In the Strait, we find 4 reefs that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world.

It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.

It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

Please do not throw the used toilet paper or other hygiene items into the toilet under any circumstances, but use the containers set up for this purpose, otherwise, the toilets may become blocked. A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

 

NOTICE:
Egyptian authorities oblige all divers who make this route to fulfill the following prerequisites:
Certified as Open Water diver or similar (we recommend Advanced), dive computer, torch for night dives (possibility of renting them on the boat if reserved previously)

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

In the Strait, we find 4 reefs that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!

 
KINGSTON
On the 22nd of February 1881, she hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. This dive is very simple, being that only the stern of this ship remains intact. Yet the amazing table corals and amount of surgeonfish that reside on her, make it an amazing dive.
 

SMALL CRACK
One of the best reef dives of the area. At the entrance to a quiet lagoon, we leave the boat inside the protective reef and journey out thru this slim passageway on the rib, using the tidal current to push us back to our vessel at the end of the dive. The corridor is quite shallow but it´s like diving thru a small aquarium. Hundreds of Acropora (Table corals) grape corals, soft corals, stag corals and sponges, line the passage. In the corridor, there are permanent residents like an enormous Hatchet fish family, different sorts of yellow tail barracudas and a big variety of reef fish.

Can I throw toilet paper in the toilet?

A repair during the safari is usually not possible or is associated with strong pollution or smell. In addition, the toilet paper drifts over the reef and disturbs the diving pleasure.

RED SEA – NORTH ROUTE
7 nights Liveaboard Diving with 5 days of intensive diving boarding and disembarking in Sharm El Sheikh 

The North Route is our Nº 1 route of the Red Sea. It is considered the best route to discover Red Sea diving. It is a complete and simple route for diving, matching all diving levels, although we recommend advanced open water level or equivalent. The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furthest dive sites in about two hours. The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity to diving amazing reefs like those found in Ras Mohammed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a living WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoy all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea reefs in pristine dive sites like Small Crack and Shag Rock and the possibility of snorkeling with dolphins.
On this route, we offer 7 days of a liveaboard, with 5 full days of diving. The last day is to desaturate nitrogen and do a bit of shopping and clubbing in Sharm el Sheikh.

 

SOME OUTSTANDING SITES ON THE ROUTE ARE:

STRAIT OF TIRAN
The Strait of Tiran is actually a submerged ridge that rises from more than 300 meters depth and extends from the southeast point of Sinai until the island of Tiran. 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 that are famous for the quality of their coral and abundant sea life.  Large oceanic fauna sightings are typical.

 

GORDON REEF
A circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck.
The wreck of the Lullia, lays right atop the reef (since 1983) making her a superb 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 when the weather permits.
 

THOMAS REEF
Thomas is the smallest of the four reefs of Tiran, and if conditions are calm, it is possible to circle around the entire reef. There are no moorings on Thomas reef so all dives are made as drift dives.

On the South Plateau we find the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for technical divers, a rift starts at 35 meters and goes down to 96. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian Fan Corals and trees of black coral. In the blue, there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks are sometimes seen.
 

WOODHOUSE REEF
Is the longest reef of Tiran long and narrow, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall that plummets into the deep. It also has an underwater canyon and a couple of caves suitable only for Technical divers. In the canyon area, we can see one of the few red anemones in the area.
 

JACKSON REEF
It is considered the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, an abundance of wildlife and encounters with pelagic life. It is around a reef with vertical walls and a shallow coral garden on the west side. Continually swept by strong currents, sometimes extremely strong, it´s great for wild drift dives, large fish life encounters and beautiful coral sightings.
During the summer months, small groups of hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) reside in the northern area.
Also on the Northside, we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship grounded on Jackson Reef in 1983.

 

Ras Mohammed National Park

ANEMONE CITY, SHARK REEF & YOLANDA REEF
The most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best sites in the world. We start off at Anemone city, where dozens of huge anemones (Magnificent heteractis) hosting a multitude of clownfish and damsels are to be found. From here we leap into the blue, crossing over the depths below, to the walls of shark reef.

Along the way possible sightings include; sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there, the dive continues on to shallower water between the two reefs. Here, you’ll be able to see parts of the freighter ship: Yolanda, which struck the reef and gave it its name. Among the debris, you’ll find a large collection of toilets and the remains of the captain’s BMW. The area around the wreck often houses lionfish, blue-spotted stingrays and moray eels. The entire stretch between the two reefs is strewn with rocks overgrown with coral, as well as lots of coral on the sides of the reef, which contrasts nicely with the white, sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and colorful reefs make this a photographer’s paradise.

 

JACKFISH ALLEY
The traditional dive starts off with a cave at 5 meters which is actually a swim through coming out at a depth of 9 meters. The cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here we swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site; it was originally named Fisherman’s Bank, due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and all the usual Red Sea residents here. The dive finishes at the end of the sandy alley where most people are on 50 bar.

RAS GHOZLANI
Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with lots of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope at a depth of around 6 meters which slowly descends to the drop-off found at around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes distract us with their fauna and coral during the whole dive. The pinnacles are covered with Table corals, big Gorgonian fans and healthy soft corals in many different colors. The pinnacles are teeming Anthias and other colorful reef fish. Another part of dive site, houses a small anemone city of Magnificent hecteractis anemones.
 

Straits of  Gubal

S.S. THISTLEGORM
The world’s most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali, about 30 miles from Sharm El Sheikh.
It was sunk by German aircraft in October of 1941 and later discovered by Jacques Cousteau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world, with its sunken cargo of trucks, cars, motorcycles, locomotives, weapons, ammunition, wagons, aircraft wings, boots…. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside, visiting the propeller, anti-aircraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. It is highly recommended to use Nitrox on this dive.  If possible, we can make a spectacular night dive on the wreck, and perhaps even get to see the skittish lantern fish!
