Frequently Asked Questions About Red Sea Aggressor II

Historically speaking, the dives offered at Northern Red Sea and Straits of Tiran include the most popular ones: Thistlegorm and Abu Nuhas Wrecks. Besides a bunch of historic elements, at Ras Mohamed National Park divers will discover intact coral reefs along with vibrant marine life. The Straits of Tiran, separating the Gulf of Aqaba from the Red Sea, are known for their reefs, bearing the names of British cartographers: Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas, and Gordon. Extraordinary coral diversity and pelagic species attract many to these waters

This is an itinerary that provides the opportunity to dive historic wrecks such as the Thistlegorm, along with famous reefs in Ras Mohamed National Park. In addition, divers will be exploring the famous Blue Hole in Dahab. Up to 20 dives are planned during the week, and for a cultural experience, an optional Bedouin dinner at Abu Galom ashore is possible

Get Wrecked is a Northern Red Sea Wrecks itinerary that offers up to 12 wrecks and two reef dives. Up to 19 wreck dives is possible to see the historical importance of the Red Sea as a trading route and the wrecks that have resulted from its busy maritime history, especially since the construction of the Suez Canal

Onboard, the menu offers a selection of Egyptian and local dishes in buffet style. For breakfast, one can find fresh fruits, cereals, and hot entrées, while lunch and dinner offer homemade bread, soups, salads, and entrées of seafood, chicken, or beef. Desserts are offered at night. Any dietary requirements should be conveyed before the trip to accommodate any special needs. Complimentary beverages include water, tea, coffee, and soft drinks. Alcohol drinks are on sale - but no pork products as there is no local supply of this

Water temperatures average between 74°-82°F (23°-28°C). Divers usually wear a 3–5mm wetsuit during summer months and a 7mm wetsuit during winter months. Safety items, which include a dive computer, SMB, and safety sausage, are mandatory and can be rented on board if not already owned. The dive staff has a spot to store personal equipment and uses 12L aluminum tanks with both K-valves and DIN fittings

Dives are self-guided within the certification limits of the divers and based on the detailed briefings by the dive staff. Plan your dives with your buddy. The in-water staff can assist, spot critters, and/or rescue if required. Tender diving also features a guide in the water with each group to ensure that all divers are present and following the plan. Night dives are possible where conditions allow

Enjoyable Safari
Salon is not overwhelming. Tables are packed with 10 people, so the seats are too close to each other.  Food was nice and table service was good. We had a nice upper deck cabin with a double bed. Diving was good, but one dive guide for 12 divers with big variability in skill levels meet not the safety standards I am used to meet in the aggressor fleet. Some guides are very willing to show the best of the underwater environment, others are just swimming there way up and down. The corral gardens are amazing with plenty of small fishes and creatures. We did not see any big game, no sharks, no turtles, no dolphins during the dives. Rental equipment is overused, first stage was leaking air, couldn’t get solved during the week. Deck crew was very helpful. Cruise director Mohamed and Dive guide Sam did good dive briefings, sometimes in time and pointing out the safety situations over the top…… Recommendations for November diving in the northern part of the red sea: minimum 5mm, better 7mm wetsuit or even drysuits. Not my favourite safari, but overall very enjoyable.

Excellent diving experience in the Red Sea
This was a very well organized trip. The briefings about everything were excellent and schedules communicated clearly and staff was helpful and frendly from the moment we stepped on the boat. The service on the boat and diving was amazing and easy. Food on the boat was delicious.

THE FIRST DAY OF DIVING WAS A NIGHTMARE
The first day was a nightmare. There were three dive masters, two young ones and the other an older one named Ahmed. The older was the guide. In the briefing he said that we were going to check the ballasts for the descent. I thought like on other Aggressor boats, the dive master had some with him for those who need it, but no, when I jumped into the water I didn’t have the right weight to get down, so I told the dive master and he answered: "Go get them". I was far away from the yacht and I arrived tired. My bcd weights have to be placed in the pockets. One of the guys who helped me put a lot of the weight on my bcd, so I went like a stone to the bottom, luckily I didn’t exceed what was marked by the nitrogen table. This man has no empathy for a human life. When I was stunned and I signaled him that I have a lot of weight, he took it off. I was so confused that I continued swimming holding my camera. Then I found myself alone and I decide to ascend. I understand very well that I had signed a liability papers making me responsible for what could happen to me, but I never imagine that I would meet a human being so poor in feelings. When I came out he told me because you continued swimming with your camera I was not going to follow you, but in his apathy for a human being he did not see that I was stunned and I was just holding my camera.
