Tour itinerary

1 Start the Adventure

Set out for a check dive at one of the nearby dive sites in Port Ghalib, then head south to St. Johns for an afternoon dive.

2 Explore Saint John’s

Saint John’s is situated in the southern Red Sea, which is still uncharted. Thus it is one of the best places to go for a diving safari in the Red Sea. This site is well-known for dive spots and underwater life, providing the most complete experience with beautiful flowering corals and steep walls teeming with marine life – where every novice and expert diver can find their cut of paradise. Along with enjoying the stunning view of the underwater landscape, you will also get an opportunity to swim with dolphins, turtles, or even sharks.

Diving hotspots are followed by pauses at the island’s shorelines and still lagoons, which, after an active diving day, serve the explorer. St. Johns is not only an interesting journey with a fascinating underwater world; it is also a breathtaking nature that will stamp unforgettable impressions on your memory.

3 Dive Odyssey

Dive St. Johns in the morning, then follow your liveaboard itineraries north to dive into the Cave Reef region before finally heading towards Fury Shoal.

4 Underwater Getaway

Take a relaxing dive at Fury Shoal and spend the day exploring the reef.

5 Explore Deeply

From Fury Shoal, head north and enjoy the stunning dive locations in the Wadi Gamal region.

6 Final Departure

Enjoy a leisurely dive close to Port Ghalib following an early-morning dive at Elphinstone on your Red Sea liveaboard. This will enable a seamless return to the harbor in the early afternoon. Before leaving the next day, take advantage of an evening onshore to shop for mementos and experience Egypt's renowned hospitality.

    • Technical dives are exceeding 40 meters (131 feet) at the Blue Hole, Dahab

  • Can a beginner swimmer swim in the Red Sea of Egypt?

    Yes, beginner swimmers can absolutely swim in the Red Sea. Often resorts will have marked swimming zones for nice, gentle water. Beginners should however swim in safe zones and use buoyancy aids if necessary. Snorkeling is also nice but for non-swimmers, you have to have a buoyancy aid and an instructor to guide you. When you dive or enter the water, always respect your own comfort level and follow the rules set by local operators.

  • Is diving better in Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada?

    Both Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada offer excellent diving opportunities; Sharm El Sheikh is famous for wall diving, coloured coral reefs and marks like Ras Mohammed. Hurghada often provides a significantly larger and much richer quantity of dive sites with different diving features, as well as closer proximity to other ancient attractions such as Luxor.
