    The " North Route" is the most famous and visited route of the red sea. It is a complete and simple route for diving matching all diving levels.The sailing on this route is very short and pleasant, reaching the furtherst dive sites in about two hours.The wide range of dive sites will give you the opportunity of diving amazing reefs lke those found in Ras Mohamed National Park and the Straits of Tiran, visiting a live WWII museum at the wreck of SS Thistlegorm, explore spectacular wrecks like the Dunraven and the Kingston and enjoying all the underwater wonders of the Red Sea in pristine dive like Small Crack and Shag Rock. Straits of Tiran , are 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 th 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 life sightings are typical. Gordon Reef : a circular reef where there is a large sandy plateau and remains of a shipwreck. The wrecks of Lullia lays right atop the reef making her a superb landmark. Night dives are spectacular Thomas Reef 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 moornig so all dives are made as drift dives. On the South Plateau you can found the Thomas Canyon, an amazing dive for the technical divers. The walls of Thomas reef are completely covered with soft corals and a lot of Gorgonian fun corals and trees of black corals. In the blue there is always the possibility of finding large pelagic fish cruising by and even hammerhead sharks Woodhouse Reef is the longest reef of Tiran, ideal for easy drift dives. It is an almost vertical wall with 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. J ackson Reef it is considered as the best reef in the area due to the quality of the corals, abundance of wildlife and encounter with pelagic life. It is a round 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 sighthings. During the summer months. Also on the North side we find remains of the Lara wreck, a cargo ship. Anemone City, Shark Reef & Yolanda Reef: the most famous dive in Red Sea and considered one of the best site in the world. You will start at Anemone city where dozens of huge anemones hosting a moltitude of clown fish and damsel. From here you leap into the blue crossing over the depts below to the walls of shark reef. Along the way possible sights include sharks, tuna, red snapper and other large pelagic marine animals. From there the dives continue on the shallower waters between the two reefs. Here you will 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 Stingray and Mory 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 white sandy bottom. The shallow water, the light reflecting off from the bottom and the colorful reefs make this a photographer's paradise. Jackfish Alley, the dive start at 5 mt which is actually a swim through coming out at 9 mt.the cave is covered with small gorgonian fans and a crack on the roof allows the rays of sun through. From here you will swim on to a long Sandy Alley that gives the name to this site due to the large amount of jack fish found here. You can see barracuda, tuna and the usual Red Sea residents. Ras Ghozlani is a beautiful dive site with a lot of interesting things to see and discover. You start off on a sandy slope and descend to the drop off around 25 meters. Tons of pinnacles in different shapes and sizes, 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. SS Thistlegorm is the worlds most famous wreck, it is located in Shaab Ali. Sunk by German aircrafts in 1941 and later discovered by Jaques Custeau. It offers some of the most spectacular dives in the world with its sunken cargo of trucks, motorcycle, car, locomotives, weapons, ammunitions, wagons, aircraft wings, boots. Normally a minimum of two dives are made on the wreck, one outside visiting the propeller, anticraft gun and locomotives and another one going through all its decks and holds. If possible you can make a spectacular night dive on this wreck and even get to see skiddish lantern fish. Kingstone Wreck sinked in 1881 when hit against the reef at full steam, transporting her cargo of coal. Amazing table corals and amount of surgeon fish make it an amazing dive.

The good- Red Sea diving does not disappoint. So much wildlife to see and it was truly memorable. Mido was our dive guide…. We loved him, he was very patient with my wife who is a new and nervous diver with some inner ear issues. He took his time on the dives with us and was quick to evaluate our skill level and give us any help necessary. Our only bit of advice for Mr. Mido is that he would often adjust the route of the dive from preview… communication with his dive team would have led us to trust him more soooner. That being said, if you ever ask him any questions he is quick to respond and explain. All supporting staff were great. We made several good friends that we will keep in contact with. For those that are thinking of diving in December….. I think it is a good choice. Higher visibility, less tourists… but it is a trade off. We were COLD, and some of the larger animals you can see in summer have moved on to warmer waters. Food was good. Atmosphere was relaxed. The cabin and other areas needed some attention, but it was the end of the season and I’m sure these items will be fixed during repair in dry dock. Some of the more experienced divers on our boat were slightly disconcerted by the lax view of some safety items… but the three people in our group never felt in harms way. Ahmed and Ali are younger and super sweet. We will cherish our time with them and hopefully stay in touch. A smile goes a long way…. Showing the crew you see and appreciate them really makes everyone open up. All things considered (even that 70% of the crew and guests contracted COVID on the trip), we would come back and use the same boat with the same crew at the same time of year again.
