Fun and friendly
This was my second liveabiard in total. The quality if the boat was a high level and the crew work hard to keep it clean and tidy. We explored some really interesting sites with sometimes chalenging conditions, the dive guides made sure that the breifing always covered all required details and made sure that everyone was comfortable with the plan for the dive. The food was great and there was always plenty to go around. The team were very attentive with kit and tanks, with a really good team to help gear up and gear down. I will hopefully dive again with King Snefro Fleet

Program

Stony and soft corals
Schooling barracuda, jackfish, tuna
Famous wrecks
Sharks are common here

Day 1:
Meet & greet at the airport. Group transfer to the port. Onboarding, meeting the crew & briefing.

Day 2-7:
Morning: sail to nearby Temple or Ras Katy for a check dive. The week-long safari will cover the area from the Strait of Tiran, Ras Mohamed National Park and the Gulf of Suez which is usually visited first.
The National Park begins at the small bay of Marsa Ghazlani followed by the larger and deeper bay of Marsa Bareika. Continuing along the coast to Ras Za’atar, Jackfish Alley, Eel Garden, and Shark Observatory, to the southern end of the peninsula with Anemone City, Shark Reef, and Yolanda Reef and ending at the Quay. Because of the geographic position, this is a privileged area distinguished to strong massive currents that transport large quantities of plankton and other food that give rise to an extraordinary growth of stony and soft corals and attract large schools of both reef and pelagic marine fauna, over a thousand species in all. Schooling barracuda, jackfish, tuna and many kinds of sharks swim in these deep blue waters, especially in summer from June to August, sometimes early September.
The safari will also take you to famous sites like the wrecks of Dunraven and Thistlegorm, Shag Rock and the wreck of Kingston, sail to Sha’ab Ali where pods of dolphins are common, explore several spots at Sha’ab Mahmouds reef system.
Don’t miss the four famous reefs in the Strait of Tiran: Jackson, Thomas, Woodhouse and Gordon Reef, probably the most interesting and richest in marine life. You can choose from several dive sites with superb wall and drift diving. In the afternoon of the 7th day, the boat will return to the Sharm area.

Day 7-8:   
Depending on your check out and flight time return to New Marina (El Wataneya) port and disembark. Transfer to airport or hotel.
