Itinerary Highlights

Those who do, often iterate their belief that this is the best diving in the Red Sea. With abundant marine life, uncrowded dive sites and crystal clear visibility, it’s easy to understand why.
St. John’s is a healthy reef system lying 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Rocky Island and just east of Elba National Park. Habili Ali and Habili Gafaar are two reef dives known for their abundant soft corals and black corals as well as their schooling pelagic fish species.

Those who do, often iterate their belief that this is the best diving in the Red Sea. With abundant marine life, uncrowded dive sites and crystal clear visibility, it’s easy to understand why.
St. John’s is a healthy reef system lying 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Rocky Island and just east of Elba National Park. Habili Ali and Habili Gafaar are two reef dives known for their abundant soft corals and black corals as well as their schooling pelagic fish species.

Marsa Shuni, Sataya (Dolphin Reef), Elphinstone, St. Johns, Zabargad, Rocky Island, Abu Dabbab, Fury Shoal, Habili Ali, Big Gotta, Om Orouk, Habili Gaffar, Small Gotta, Dangerous Reef, Sirnaka Island, El Malahi, Claudia Reef, Abu Galawa Big, El Shiliniat, Shaab Sharm, Shaab Marsa Alam

St. John’s is a healthy reef system lying 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Rocky Island and just east of Elba National Park. Habili Ali and Habili Gafaar are two reef dives known for their abundant soft corals and black corals as well as their schooling pelagic fish species.
