Description
The BDE route links the open sea walls of Brothers, Daedalus, and Elphinstone, and the Sea Serpent Contessa navigates it with the amenities of a five-star vessel and a spacious diving platform. These three remote offshore sites are rich in pelagic life, with opportunities to encounter thresher, hammerhead, and oceanic whitetip sharks depending on the season, as well as the wrecks of Aida and Numidia at Big Brother. This itinerary is aimed at experienced divers looking for wall diving and large pelagics. The Contessa's stability in open waters and ample space on board provide comfort on a journey that covers remote and demanding reefs.
