Day 2
Sha'ab el Erg a beautiful horseshoe shaped reef. Dolphins regularly swim on the outside of the reef or in the lagoon. We can observe them either by diving or snorkelling. Sha'ab Abu Nuhas More known as “Cemetery of ships“, this west/east facing reef is very close to the shipping route that connects Europe to the East. Indeed, some ships coming out of the Gubal Strait after crossing theSuez Canal came up against this reef fringing the surface. On its north face, five wrecks are aligned: The Carnatic a 90m long and 1800 barrels steamer came to finish his days on this reef one night of 1869. It rests between 18 and 24m. In the cargo was recovered: 32,000 pounds sterling in gold bars. 8 000 are still missing... The hull is covered with hard corals, colorful alcyonarians and sponges. Inside, countless glassfish mingle with beautiful lion fish. The Giannis D, a 100m. long and 2900 barrels cargo ship sunk in 1983. He was traveling between Croatia and Yemen and was transporting wood. The Chrisoula K, a Greek cargo ship of 100m. long and 3700 barrels sunk on October 30, 1981. He carrieda transport of tiles from Italy towards Jiddah. Its stern rests on a bottom of -26 m. and is lying on his starboard side. The Kimon M, a cargo ship of 3715 tons sunk in December 1978. He was carrying a cargo 4,500 tonnes of lenses! Hence his nickname "The wreck with lentils". The holds house there a multitude of fish hatchets. The Rosalie Moeller, along cargo sunk in 1941, the same week as the Thistlegorm. A magnificent wreck, laid straight on a 50m bottom. The descent along the rear mast starts at -17m. The view on the wreck while descending and the trevalliesmhunt in the clouds of smelts leaves an unforgettable memory. (This wreck is feasible only in light winds). Thistlegorm, an English cargo ship dates from October 6, 1941. He was bombed by the German aviation while carrying ammunition and war material (trucks, cars, motorcycles, ...). You will see all these remains that are still present in the wreck. It is one of the most famous wrecks in the world. Ras Mohamed Marine park located at the southern tip of Sinaï, ultimate separation between the Gulf of Aqaba and Suez. The water masses of the two straits meet and generate strong currents. Many pelagics evolve on these vertiginous drop offs (schools of barracudas, snappers ...) Drift on the extreme southern tip: “Shark Reef“ and “Yolanda Reef“, the most extraordinary sites of the park. We will immerse ourselves on “Shark Reef“ and its steep wall that goes down to -800m! We will follow this vertiginous drop and then go up on the plateau towards “Yolanda Reef“. Chance to observe many coral formations covered with alcyonarians and gorgonians. Cross this beautiful territory inhabited by giant moray eels, napoleons, turtles, groupers, and a huge shoal of batfish, before finishing our dive on the remains of a Cypriot wreck sunk in 1980 which gave its name to the site (the Yolanda). There is only a small part of the debris remaining that slid much lower on the drop. The Yolanda was carrying sanitaries !! We can see a series of bathtubs and toilets where many fishes found shelter

Day 2
The morning after your arrival, go to the first coral reef for the «setting up». In the late afternoon, head north to the Sinai. Point and descend to the Brother islands. First dive early in the morning on the beautiful falls of the little brother before joining Big Brother. We will have the pleasure to admire the wrecks and drop offs from the island. Those who wish can visit the lighthouse. Numidia Wreck is a 130 meters long and 6 400 tons wreck which has been on the northern tip of Big Brother since it sank in July 1901. The ship was making her first journey from Glasgow to India with railway material. Today it sits on the skew, al- most vertically, between 10 and 80 meters deep. Do not forget to look “in the blue“ so you can see gray sharks or hammerheads. Then drift with the current on one or both sides of the reef. Descend to admire this wreck covered with a large number of multicolored alcyonaires and teeming with life, especially in the hold. In the early morning, do not forget to look in the water to see gray sharks or hammerheads. This is their spot! Aida II is a wreck of 1426 tons, sunk in 1957 northwest of Big Brother. The zodiac will drop you along the reef, before the wreck, in the direction of the current. You will descend along the wall down to 30 meters. You will see the wreck of Aida. Discover a gaping hole from which hang ropes covered with multicolored alcyonnaires. If you look inside, you will be able to admire clouds of “glassfish“. You can continue your exploration and, coming by the back of the wreck, you will admire an explosion of colors. The railings covered with multicolored alcyonnaires transform the wreck into a beautiful garden. Small Brother's North Plateau. Here you will have th ebest chance of spot gray sharks and hammerheads. It is even possible to cross a Manta ray and / or a moonfish (Mola-mola). Leave the plateau and the deep zone to reach the western slope, which is full of life with alcyonarians of all colors, magnificent sea fans and an extremely varied fauna : groupers, barracudas ... On this island, you have the chance to see an incredible number of shark species : gray reefs, white tips, silky, hammerhead, thresher, and of course, often near the surface, the one you all expect : the oceanic white tip. The South-East Wall, descend in the area of 25 meters. After a few minutes, arrive on a magnificent field of gorgonians of very large sizes: a paradise for lovers of beautiful photos. Cruise north to Sha'ab el Erg a beautiful horseshoe shaped reef. Dolphins regularly swim on the outside of the reef or in the lagoon. We can observe them either by diving or snorkelling.

Day 2
Habili Ali, is a magnificent pinnacle sizes 150 meters long by 50 meters wide. It goes up to one or two meters below the surface. It is oriented east-west. The boat will stop on the southwest or southeast side of the reef. You will be dropped generally on the northern point, to return along the fall, to the side where the boat is, by being carried by the current. Descend to the 30/40 meter zone to observe the pelagics. You can see evolving in the current jacks, tuna, barracudas and gray reef sharks. Sometimes a hammerhead can hang around. On this northern slope, you will see large black coral bushes. We will then drift away and leave the deep zone. If you return to the west, you will pass by a garden of giant sea fans around 25-30 meters. Remember to look regularly in the blue, because it is common to see dolphins passing by in the morning (Tursiops) on this site. Do not hesitate at the end of the dive to look on the plateau as life ifabundant there. Habili Gafar, one of the most beautiful sites in the vast area of St John’s. This reef is just 15 meters wide by 30 meters long. Imagine a steep cone slowly flaring up to the 20 meter zone to form a small plateau before continuing its descent to over 80 meters. Generally, the current is quite strong here. Descend along the north face of the «cone», until you reach the area of 30-35 meters. On the descent, you will see the small plateau that materializes at this depth. It is here, on the north face, in the current, that you will have the chances to cross pelagics. It is not uncommon to see gray reef sharks or other species. Then, ascend along the reef describing a slow spiral. The wall is extremely rich in alcyonarians of all colors, hard corals, clouds of anthias, snappers, barracudas, tunas, trevallies ... Before heading towards the end of your dive, take the time to look at the top reef, you will be surprised once again by the diversity of species that live there. Erg Om Aruk, is so magical that it will be very diffucult to respect the bottom time instructions of your onboard guide... It is composed of a main reef of 80m and a large number of coral columns forming magnificent light plays in the south-east and north parts. Divers have dubbed this site «Halong Bay». You will come across countless shoals of fusilliers, snappers, surgeons ... heading north to reach Halong Bay. There, towers are flush with the surface and descend on a bottom from 20 to 27m. Gray or oceanic sharks can be seen, as well as a very big Napoleon at the safety stop, under the boat.

Day 2
Abu Galawa, famous for its Tienstin wreck that goes from the surface to -17m at the stern. A wreck of about thirty meters colonized by so much corals that in some places, it is impossible to discern the end of the wreck and the begin of the reef (often in night dive). Sha’ab Claudio, a site with a particular topography with large, magnificent cathedral-shaped caves that offer superb light. In the morning, it is not uncommon to meet small white tip sharks laying on the sand, and most of the time a huge napoleon wrasse hangs around at the safety stop. Malahi, is a site consisting of a maze of canyons where a magical atmosphere occurs with a magnificent light. It’s also a photographer’s paradise! Very often, schools of yellowfin mullet colonize the canyons. It is not uncommon to see a turtle during the dive. Sataya's Reef, a huge reef more than 1.5 kilometers long. In summer, the water exceeds 33 ° in the lagoon. This site is home to a colony of more than 100 spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris), often divided into several groups. Depending on the time of year, we can observe the baby dolphins evolve with their parents. This site also allows us to snorkel with these magnificent marine mammals.

Day 2
Deadalus Deadalus North Face, a dive on the northern slope of Daedalus, which is the most exposed to the dominant current, that we have the most chances to make beautiful encounters with the pelagics. Indeed it is very common here to evolve with a school of hammerhead sharks composed of about twenty individuals. Trevallies and tunas are also very often seen. Zabargad Zabargad is an island of about 5km2. It is next to Rocky. On the south side where the boat will be moored is a turquoise lagoon with a coral reef reminiscent of a Polynesian lagoon. Diving on the plateau sud discover abundant wildlife and coral towers covered with multicolored alcyonnaires. It is not uncommon to encounter turtles during the dive. Rocky 5km south of Zabargad is Rocky Island, close to the Sudanese border. This is without a doubt the wildest site in Egypt. As the dive goes on, the shallow plateau that is home to all kinds of species changes to a drop off covered with giant sea fans, corals and sponges. The south of the island is the pelagic point with white tip sharks, grays, hammerheads and even manta rays. Elphinstone Elphinstone's North Plateau, jump in the water early in the morning. Descend along the reef to reach the plateau twenty meters deeper. You will see an impressive life. Follow the plateau down to 40 meters. There, around the fault and in the current hammerhead sharks and gray reefs can be spotted very frequently.Observe them then start ascending along the plateau to go towards the east or west, depending on the current. Multicolored alcyonnaires, the sea fans whips, and do not forget to look regularly “in the blue“ : it is frequent to see passing the silhouette of a shark Above your head you have a great chance to see barracudas.At the end of the dive, in the landing zone, take the time to stroll while looking at the top of the reef: a large number of fish are there as refugees among a wide variety of multicolored hard corals.

Day 2
Sha'ab el Erg a beautiful horseshoe shaped reef. Dolphins regularly swim on the outside of the reef or in the lagoon. We can observe them either by diving or snorkelling. Sha'ab Abu Nuhas More known as “Cemetery of ships“, this west/east facing reef is very close to the shipping route that connects Europe to the East. Indeed, some ships coming out of the Gubal Strait after crossing theSuez Canal came up against this reef fringing the surface. On its north face, five wrecks are aligned: The Carnatic a 90m long and 1800 barrels steamer came to finish his days on this reef one night of 1869. It rests between 18 and 24m. In the cargo was recovered: 32,000 pounds sterling in gold bars. 8 000 are still missing... The hull is covered with hard corals, colorful alcyonarians and sponges. Inside, countless glassfish mingle with beautiful lion fish. The Giannis D, a 100m. long and 2900 barrels cargo ship sunk in 1983. He was traveling between Croatia and Yemen and was transporting wood. The Chrisoula K, a Greek cargo ship of 100m. long and 3700 barrels sunk on October 30, 1981. He carrieda transport of tiles from Italy towards Jiddah. Its stern rests on a bottom of -26 m. and is lying on his starboard side. The Kimon M, a cargo ship of 3715 tons sunk in December 1978. He was carrying a cargo 4,500 tonnes of lenses! Hence his nickname "The wreck with lentils". The holds house there a multitude of fish hatchets. The Rosalie Moeller, along cargo sunk in 1941, the same week as the Thistlegorm. A magnificent wreck, laid straight on a 50m bottom. The descent along the rear mast starts at -17m. The view on the wreck while descending and the trevalliesmhunt in the clouds of smelts leaves an unforgettable memory. (This wreck is feasible only in light winds). Thistlegorm, an English cargo ship dates from October 6, 1941. He was bombed by the German aviation while carrying ammunition and war material (trucks, cars, motorcycles, ...). You will see all these remains that are still present in the wreck. It is one of the most famous wrecks in the world. The Tiran Strait Four beautiful coral reefs fringing the surface are located in the middle of this strait. Its narrowness usually brings a strong current which allows the observation of many pelagic fish: jacks, rays eagles, barracudas, gray sharks, hammers ... You will also discover two remains of shipwrecks stranded on these reefs. They are “posed“ straight like two guardians of the place. These are the cargos Louilla (Gordon) and Lara (Jackson). You will be able to observe many cargo debris from the boats, all covered with coral. Thomas Reef, the smallest of the four but the richest! It often happens to see gray sharks and hammerheads on the north face where you can admire many gorgonians and alcyonarians. The east face is also exceptional. On the north / east corner, at a thirty meters depth, starts a beautiful narrow canyon with several arches. The dive ends on a large plateau that overlooks this vertical drop. It is very common to come across turtles. You will end your dive on the beautiful coral garden around ten meters, among gaterini, emperors, butterfly fish, trevallies Gordon Reef, along the eastern slope, looking in the “blue“, you will see gray sharks that do not seem to be disturbed by the current. Then, if you head south, going up on the plateau, you should see a pretty little sandbank occupied by a colony of garden eels, standing upright... Further away, a very large school of banner fish is waiting for you. Jackson Reef and Woodhouse, towards the west plateau, you will see large gorgonians. You will surely meet a turtle on the plateau (20m.) that separates Jackson from Woodhouse. The current can be strong enough to bring pelagic fish to the drop off or over the plateau. Ras Mohammed Marine park located at the southern tip of Sinaï, ultimate separation between the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez. The water masses of the two straits meet and generate strong currents. Many pelagics evolve on these vertiginous drop offs (schools of barracudas, snappers ...) We will drift on the extreme southern tip: “Shark Reef“ and “Yolanda Reef“, the most extraordinary sites of the park. We will immerse ourselves on “Shark Reef“ and its steep wall that goes down to -800m! We will follow this vertiginous drop and then go up on the plateau towards “Yolanda Reef“. We will have the chance to observe many coral formations covered with alcyonarians and gorgonians. We will cross this beautiful territory inhabited by giant moray eels, napoleons, turtles, groupers, and a huge shoal of batfish, before finishing our dive on the remains of a Cypriot wreck sunk in 1980 which gave its name to the site (the Yolanda). There is only a small part of the debris remaining that slid much lower on the drop. The Yolanda was carrying sanitaries !! We can see a series of bathtubs and toilets where many fishes found shelter.

The morning after your arrival, go to the first coral reef for the «setting up». In the late afternoon, head north to the Sinai. Point and descend to the Brother islands. First dive early in the morning on the beautiful falls of the little brother before joining Big Brother. We will have the pleasure to admire the wrecks and drop offs from the island. Those who wish can visit the lighthouse. Numidia Wreck is a 130 meters long and 6 400 tons wreck which has been on the northern tip of Big Brother since it sank in July 1901. The ship was making her first journey from Glasgow to India with railway material. Today it sits on the skew, al- most vertically, between 10 and 80 meters deep. Do not forget to look “in the blue“ so you can see gray sharks or hammerheads. Then drift with the current on one or both sides of the reef. Descend to admire this wreck covered with a large number of multicolored alcyonaires and teeming with life, especially in the hold. In the early morning, do not forget to look in the water to see gray sharks or hammerheads. This is their spot! Aida II is a wreck of 1426 tons, sunk in 1957 northwest of Big Brother. The zodiac will drop you along the reef, before the wreck, in the direction of the current. You will descend along the wall down to 30 meters. You will see the wreck of Aida. Discover a gaping hole from which hang ropes covered with multicolored alcyonnaires. If you look inside, you will be able to admire clouds of “glassfish“. You can continue your exploration and, coming by the back of the wreck, you will admire an explosion of colors. The railings covered with multicolored alcyonnaires transform the wreck into a beautiful garden. Small Brother's North Plateau. Here you will have th ebest chance of spot gray sharks and hammerheads. It is even possible to cross a Manta ray and / or a moonfish (Mola-mola). Leave the plateau and the deep zone to reach the western slope, which is full of life with alcyonarians of all colors, magnificent sea fans and an extremely varied fauna : groupers, barracudas ... On this island, you have the chance to see an incredible number of shark species : gray reefs, white tips, silky, hammerhead, thresher, and of course, often near the surface, the one you all expect : the oceanic white tip. The South-East Wall, descend in the area of 25 meters. After a few minutes, arrive on a magnificent field of gorgonians of very large sizes: a paradise for lovers of beautiful photos.

Sha'ab el Erg a beautiful horseshoe shaped reef. Dolphins regularly swim on the outside of the reef or in the lagoon. We can observe them either by diving or snorkelling. Sha'ab Abu Nuhas more known as “Cemetery of ships“, this west/east facing reef is very close to the shipping route that connects Europe to the East. Indeed, some ships coming out of the Gubal Strait after crossing theSuez Canal came up against this reef fringing the surface. On its north face, five wrecks are aligned: The Carnatic a 90m long and 1800 barrels steamer came to finish his days on this reef one night of 1869. It rests between 18 and 24m. In the cargo was recovered: 32,000 pounds sterling in gold bars. 8 000 are still missing... The hull is covered with hard corals, colorful alcyonarians and sponges. Inside, countless glassfish mingle with beautiful lion fish. The Giannis D, a 100m. long and 2900 barrels cargo ship sunk in 1983. He was traveling between Croatia and Yemen and was transporting wood. The Chrisoula K, a Greek cargo ship of 100m. long and 3700 barrels sunk on October 30, 1981. He carrieda transport of tiles from Italy towards Jiddah. Its stern rests on a bottom of -26 m. and is lying on his starboard side. The Kimon M, a cargo ship of 3715 tons sunk in December 1978. He was carrying a cargo 4,500 tonnes of lenses! Hence his nickname "The wreck with lentils". The holds house there a multitude of fish hatchets. The Rosalie Moeller, along cargo sunk in 1941, the same week as the Thistlegorm. A magnificent wreck, laid straight on a 50m bottom. The descent along the rear mast starts at -17m. The view on the wreck while descending and the trevalliesmhunt in the clouds of smelts leaves an unforgettable memory. (This wreck is feasible only in light winds). Thistlegorm, an English cargo ship dates from October 6, 1941. He was bombed by the German aviation while carrying ammunition and war material (trucks, cars, motorcycles, ...). You will see all these remains that are still present in the wreck. It is one of the most famous wrecks in the world. Ras Mohamed Marine park located at the southern tip of Sinaï, ultimate separation between the Gulf of Aqaba and Suez. The water masses of the two straits meet and generate strong currents. Many pelagics evolve on these vertiginous drop offs (schools of barracudas, snappers ...) Drift on the extreme southern tip: “Shark Reef“ and “Yolanda Reef“, the most extraordinary sites of the park. We will immerse ourselves on “Shark Reef“ and its steep wall that goes down to -800m! We will follow this vertiginous drop and then go up on the plateau towards “Yolanda Reef“. Chance to observe many coral formations covered with alcyonarians and gorgonians. Cross this beautiful territory inhabited by giant moray eels, napoleons, turtles, groupers, and a huge shoal of batfish, before finishing our dive on the remains of a Cypriot wreck sunk in 1980 which gave its name to the site (the Yolanda). There is only a small part of the debris remaining that slid much lower on the drop. The Yolanda was carrying sanitaries !! We can see a series of bathtubs and toilets where many fishes found shelter

Day 2
The morning after your arrival, go to the first coral reef for the «setting up». In the late afternoon, head north to the Sinai. Point and descend to the Brother islands. First dive early in the morning on the beautiful falls of the little brother before joining Big Brother. We will have the pleasure to admire the wrecks and drop offs from the island. Those who wish can visit the lighthouse. Numidia Wreck is a 130 meters long and 6 400 tons wreck which has been on the northern tip of Big Brother since it sank in July 1901. The ship was making her first journey from Glasgow to India with railway material. Today it sits on the skew, al- most vertically, between 10 and 80 meters deep. Do not forget to look “in the blue“ so you can see gray sharks or hammerheads. Then drift with the current on one or both sides of the reef. Descend to admire this wreck covered with a large number of multicolored alcyonaires and teeming with life, especially in the hold. In the early morning, do not forget to look in the water to see gray sharks or hammerheads. This is their spot! Aida II is a wreck of 1426 tons, sunk in 1957 northwest of Big Brother. The zodiac will drop you along the reef, before the wreck, in the direction of the current. You will descend along the wall down to 30 meters. You will see the wreck of Aida. Discover a gaping hole from which hang ropes covered with multicolored alcyonnaires. If you look inside, you will be able to admire clouds of “glassfish“. You can continue your exploration and, coming by the back of the wreck, you will admire an explosion of colors. The railings covered with multicolored alcyonnaires transform the wreck into a beautiful garden. Small Brother's North Plateau. Here you will have th ebest chance of spot gray sharks and hammerheads. It is even possible to cross a Manta ray and / or a moonfish (Mola-mola). Leave the plateau and the deep zone to reach the western slope, which is full of life with alcyonarians of all colors, magnificent sea fans and an extremely varied fauna : groupers, barracudas ... On this island, you have the chance to see an incredible number of shark species : gray reefs, white tips, silky, hammerhead, thresher, and of course, often near the surface, the one you all expect : the oceanic white tip. The South-East Wall, descend in the area of 25 meters. After a few minutes, arrive on a magnificent field of gorgonians of very large sizes: a paradise for lovers of beautiful photos. Cruise north to Sha'ab el Erg a beautiful horseshoe shaped reef. Dolphins regularly swim on the outside of the reef or in the lagoon. We can observe them either by diving or snorkelling.

Day 2
Habili Ali, is a magnificent pinnacle sizes 150 meters long by 50 meters wide. It goes up to one or two meters below the surface. It is oriented east-west. The boat will stop on the southwest or southeast side of the reef. You will be dropped generally on the northern point, to return along the fall, to the side where the boat is, by being carried by the current. Descend to the 30/40 meter zone to observe the pelagics. You can see evolving in the current jacks, tuna, barracudas and gray reef sharks. Sometimes a hammerhead can hang around. On this northern slope, you will see large black coral bushes. We will then drift away and leave the deep zone. If you return to the west, you will pass by a garden of giant sea fans around 25-30 meters. Remember to look regularly in the blue, because it is common to see dolphins passing by in the morning (Tursiops) on this site. Do not hesitate at the end of the dive to look on the plateau as life ifabundant there. Habili Gafar, one of the most beautiful sites in the vast area of St John’s. This reef is just 15 meters wide by 30 meters long. Imagine a steep cone slowly flaring up to the 20 meter zone to form a small plateau before continuing its descent to over 80 meters. Generally, the current is quite strong here. Descend along the north face of the «cone», until you reach the area of 30-35 meters. On the descent, you will see the small plateau that materializes at this depth. It is here, on the north face, in the current, that you will have the chances to cross pelagics. It is not uncommon to see gray reef sharks or other species. Then, ascend along the reef describing a slow spiral. The wall is extremely rich in alcyonarians of all colors, hard corals, clouds of anthias, snappers, barracudas, tunas, trevallies ... Before heading towards the end of your dive, take the time to look at the top reef, you will be surprised once again by the diversity of species that live there. Erg Om Aruk, is so magical that it will be very diffucult to respect the bottom time instructions of your onboard guide... It is composed of a main reef of 80m and a large number of coral columns forming magnificent light plays in the south-east and north parts. Divers have dubbed this site «Halong Bay». You will come across countless shoals of fusilliers, snappers, surgeons ... heading north to reach Halong Bay. There, towers are flush with the surface and descend on a bottom from 20 to 27m. Gray or oceanic sharks can be seen, as well as a very big Napoleon at the safety stop, under the boat.
