Description
The Ocean Lovers sails deep south into the Egyptian Red Sea, the most remote area of the country, following an itinerary that can only be explored on a liveaboard. The route combines drift dives along steep walls, gentle diving in coral gardens, and the characteristic interplay of light in the caves of St. John's.
Daedalus, the reef furthest from the coast, is one of the most reliable spots to see schooling hammerhead sharks, along with oceanic whitetips, barracudas, and Napoleon wrasse. Rocky Island and Zabargad feature walls adorned with soft coral and a wreck, the Hanka, located to the southwest of Zabargad. Fury Shoal and Sataya round off the route with more sheltered reefs and regular encounters with dolphins.
This is a safari designed for experienced divers in search of pelagics, varied topographies, and pristine reefs far from the coast.
