Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Reefs & Wrecks itinerary?
The Reefs & Wrecks itinerary blends historic wreck dives with vibrant reef explorations in the northern Red Sea. With up to 21 dives on a 7-day safari, divers experience iconic locations and varied underwater scenery.
Shaab El Erg is a horseshoe-shaped reef with beautiful hard coral gardens and occasional dolphins. Abu Nuhas is another highlight with four famous wrecks: Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K (also known as the "tile wreck"), and Kimon M (the "lentil wreck), all lying in good company with plenty of marine life.
Between wreck dives, divers explore reefs in the Straits of Gubal, the Gulf of Suez, and northern Hurghada. These sites offer deep walls, colorful coral gardens, and dense reef fish populations. On Gubal Island, with its protected anchoring spot, night dives feature scorpionfish, lionfish, and a resident giant moray eel on a shallow wreck. Other highlights include the Kingston at Shag Rock, Carina near Sha'ab Ali, and the Dunraven at Beacon Rock.
Ras Mohamed National Park, located at the southern tip of Sinai, is a staple on this itinerary. Divers can see Shark Reef, a wall dropping straight into the blue, and Yolanda Reef, home to the cargo of a sunken freighter-bathtubs, toilets, and pipes-resting among the corals. Nutrient-rich waters attract large schools of fish and predators
What does the Famous Five itinerary include?
The Famous Five itinerary combines some of the northern Red Sea's best wrecks and reefs with offshore highlights like the Brother Islands. Starting in Hurghada, the route begins at Abu Nuhas with its famous wrecks-Giannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, and Kimon M. Further north, the Rosalie Moller lies at depths between 30 and 50 meters, covered in glassfish and attracting predators such as lionfish, tuna, and trevallies.
The key feature of this route is the SS Thistlegorm. Lying at 30 meters, this World War II British cargo ship carries military trucks, motorcycles, and even railway engines. Depending on the weather conditions, the Thistlegorm can also be dived at night.
From here, divers move to Ras Mohamed National Park to dive Shark and Yolanda Reefs before heading offshore to the Brother Islands. These isolated pinnacles, rising from deep waters, are known for their walls draped in soft corals and gorgonians. Marine highlights include hammerheads, oceanic white-tip sharks, silky sharks, and the occasional thresher shark. The wrecks of the Aida II and Numidia at Big Brother provide additional interest, with marine life like Napoleon wrasse and grey reef sharks often seen here. The trip concludes with dives either at Safaga's Panorama Reef or the Salem Express wreck for a memorable finale
What marine life can I expect to see in the Red Sea?
The Red Sea is home to around 1,238 species of marine life, including stunning reef fish, fascinating macro species, and larger pelagics. Common sightings include clownfish, moray eels, Napoleon wrasse, parrotfish, and turtles. Wreck sites are often home to schools of glassfish, jacks, and trevallies, while deeper walls and plateaus host grey reef sharks, hammerheads, and silvertips. Dolphins and mantas make seasonal appearances, completing the variety underwater.
When is the best time to dive in the Red Sea?
The diving in the Red Sea is possible all year round, but conditions change with the season. Temperatures are cooler from November to March, with increased winds, but the sites are quieter and visibility remains very good. During this period, the temperature of the water is between 22-24°C.
April through June brings warmer water, with temperatures climbing to 26°C–28°C. This period often coincides with plankton blooms, attracting manta rays and the occasional whale shark. Marine activity peaks in summer, though air temperatures can exceed 40°C in July and August.
September to early November has ideal conditions, with warm water and mild air temperatures making for comfortable diving. Marine life in season includes shoals of barracuda, snapper, and trevally, and sharks and rays are often seen
How many dives can I expect on these itineraries?
Both itineraries are designed for divers seeking maximum time underwater. As 21+ dive cruises, divers will be able to make up to 21 dives over the span of a 7-day safari, depending on conditions and personal preferences. Night dives are often included at key locations like Gubal Island, where shallow wrecks and nocturnal species provide unique experiences
