Day 1 (Afternoon/Evening): Transfer to Sharks Bay Umbi (Sharks Bay Jetty) port and embark. Welcome on board, cabin arrangement and boat-briefing. Permission to work with the port authority, sailing very early the next morning. Please Note: This is a sample itinerary and nº of dives, dive sites, etc. may be subject to change due to weather conditions and other unforeseeable factors
Day 2 - 7: start at Sharks Bay for a check dive. Safari will cover the area from the Strait of Tiran, Ras Mohamed National Park and the Gulf of Suez which is usually visited first. The National Park begins at the small bay of Marsa Ghazlani followed by the larger and deeper bay of Marsa Bareika. Continuing along the coast to Ras Za'atar, Jackfish Alley, Eel Garden, and Shark Observatory, to the southern end of the peninsula with Anemone City, Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef and ending at the Quay. Because of the geographic position, this is a privileged area distinguished to strong, massive currents that transport large quantities of plankton and other food that give rise to an extraordinary growth of stony and soft corals and attract large schools of both reef and pelagic marine fauna, over a thousand species in all. Schooling barracuda, jackfish, tuna and many kinds of sharks swim in these deep blue waters, especially in summer from June to August, sometimes early September. The safari will also take you to famous sites like the wrecks of Dunraven and Thistlegorm, Shag Rock and the wreck of Kingston, sail to Sha'ab Ali where pods of dolphins are common, explore several spots at Sha'ab Mahmouds reef system. Don't miss the four famous reefs in the Strait of Tiran: Jackson, Thomas, Woodhouse and Gordon Reef, probably the most interesting and richest in marine life. You can choose from several dive sites with superb wall and drift diving.
Day 8: Depending on your checkout and flight time return to Sharks Bay Umbi (Sharks Bay Jetty) port and disembark. Transfer to airport or hotel.
