Route Description - Simply the Best

Simply the Best offers divers the chance to explore the 'Best Top 3' sites in this area: Big and Little Brothers, Daedalus Reef and Elphinstone. A fabulous mixture of reef and wreck diving

The Brother Islands are the pinnacles of two undersea mountains rising from the depths of the abyss and are located about 60 miles offshore. Part of the Marine Park Islands National Park, these islands offer stunning wall diving, with the walls being covered in soft corals and forests of gorgonians, creating a kaleidoscope of ever-changing colours. They attract a diverse array of marine species and large pelagics. Large tuna, jacks and snappers cruise in the blue, accompanied by occasional hammerheads, silvertips, silky and oceanic white tip sharks and mantas. Even the rare thresher shark can be found here. Sightings of the grey reef shark are almost guaranteed on the North and South Plateaux of Small Brother.

For the wreck diver, the Aida II, an Egyptian supply vessel, and the Numidia, a cargo ship, lie on the walls of the Big Brother. Both are covered in a rich growth of soft and hard corals. Marine life includes a family of Napoleon wrasse and grey reef sharks.

Daedalus Reef, also part of the Marine Park, is a large, oval reef with a lighthouse and is the furthest offshore reef in the Egyptian Red Sea. Its deep walls and drop-offs offer some of the most spectacular diving to be found. Daedalus has mountainous, pristine, hard coral formations. There is also a strong chance of spotting schooling hammerheads and grey reef sharks.

Elphinstone, with its sheer walls covered in soft corals, offers a likely encounter with oceanic white tip sharks.

This itinerary is great all year round and for experienced divers. It is a must for all die hard Red Sea divers. Always keep one eye open though so you never the sharks, dolphins and turtles. Big Bothers: Who is the fairer brother? Many believe that the larger one is a bit more ahead of its wrecks and more attractive: the Aida II and the Numidia have found their final resting place here and are as beautiful as they were never in "lifetime". Mutated into blooming gardens, one can only guess where the wreck ends, and the reef begins. The Numidia on the more unprotected north side has crumbled it neatly by the forces of the water. Due to its cargo, it is also called a railway wreck. The bow is in shallow water, from about 15m depth one guesses the hull. Beautifully overgrown rails automatically pull you down, so be careful! The screw is beyond good and evil at a proud 80m.

Small Brothers the reef has a very high concentration of life in a very small area. Coral forests, overhangs, hard and soft corals in a variety and with amazing colors ... and of course there is a lot of fish!

Strong currents make this a perfect drift dive along cliffs covered with many species of fish and soft corals. Here you can see barracudas, angelfish and hordes of anthias, groupers, moray eels and swarms of sweetlips. The reef is covered with soft corals to the north. At the southern end of Elphinstone is an archway, with 65 feet of depth, this is far beyond the scuba diving limit, but best suited for Tek divers. Whitetip sharks also occasionally visit this area.

Route Description - North & Easy

A week long diving safari starting and ending in Hurghada North & Easy runs from May to September and has been designed to showcase some of the highlights of the Northern Red Sea.

Designed to showcase some of the highlights of the Northern Red Sea at a relaxed pace whether diving or snorkelling, it's ideal for both divers and non-divers. It's also the best time of year for dolphin spotting and the world class fish schooling event at Ras Mohamed.

Discount for non-divers: €150 per person.

We spend more time moored at each location and less time travelling from dive site to dive site; perfectly designed for the divers who like to take things easy, the photo enthusiasts looking for more dive time to capture that perfect photo opportunity or for non-divers looking to soak up the scenery, both below and above the water. Our open deck policy at certain dive sites on these trips mean you can simply relax and sunbathe or grab your snorkel or dive gear whenever you want to hit the water.

Enjoy the breath-taking scenery as we start from Hurghada, sail across to well-known areas such as Sha'ab El Erg, two of the world's best dive sites including Ras Mohamed National Park (Shark and Yolanda reefs) and the wreck of the Thistlegorm, breath-taking schools of glass fish on the wreck of the Dunraven and the colourful coral gardens on the islands of Tiran.

Day 1 Arrive on board from 6pm onwards. We stay in port overnight and depart early the next morning.

Day 2 Sail across to Sha'ab El Erg known for its corals, pinnacles and a lagoon home to a large number of bottlenose dolphins, famous for their appearance on Blue Planet! This location is the best chance for divers and snorkellers to see them in the wild. We later cross to the Alternatives and moor at Stingray Station, so named due to the many blue spotted stingrays that gather here. Thanks to the shelter that the reef provides and the shallowness of the surrounding water this is a very popular spot for snorkellers. An 'introductory dive' can be done here too.

Day 3 We will arrive at Ras Mohamed in the morning and visit the schooling fish event at Shark & Yolanda. This really has to be seen to be believed with huge schools of snapper, batfish, trevally, parrotfish and barracuda amongst others - incredible! We stop at Marsa Bereika for another chance for introductory dives to complete the morning. In the afternoon, we will either make some local sites or head to the Straits of Tiran for our first taste of open deck diving. In the afternoon, you'll have the choice to swim or dive when you want, either with the guided group or with a buddy. See for yourself why the Red Sea is so named and take in the breath-taking backdrop of the Sinai mountains during sunset.

Day 4 We start the day as we finished the last with open deck diving/snorkelling at Tiran. Tiran is amazing whether explored below or above the surface. Keep your eyes peeled and you'll be mesmerised by the variety of life here; turtles cruising by walls covered in healthy and colourful hard and soft corals, schools of reef fish as far as the eye can see in crystal clear blue water. Topside and around sunset, look out for dolphins too. Later we go to some amazing local sites for more dives and swimming.

Day 5 Early morning dive or snorkel at the Dunraven wreck. Life inside and around the wreck can hold a delight or two, especially macro and small life for underwater photo enthusiasts. If you are lucky, you may see dolphins on their early morning commute. Late morning, we take the short trip across to the wreck of the Thistlegorm and spend the afternoon here. Overnight sailing to the Straits of Gubal.

Day 6 Wake up moored at Bluff Point/The Barge where we spend a whole day with an open deck. Huge fan corals cover an impressive drop off with caves and glass fish. Sightings of turtles and Napoleon fish are common. A barge wreck lies on the reef 300m north of the lighthouse, starting at 5m depth and sloping to 25m. The barge is literally crammed full of fish, along with several lionfish. An 'introductory dive' can be done here.

Day 7 Time to relax on board or jump back in the water to dive or snorkel at your leisure with open deck until 10am before heading back to Shaab El Erg for one last visit. Returning to Hurghada port mid-afternoon to stretch your sea legs and overnight in the port. All dives on this day must observe no diving 24 hours before your flight.

Route Description - Rocky, Zabargad and St Johns

World-renowned dive sites make this memorable liveaboard safari unique. Also the fish wealth is large in St. John's and here you can meet the otherwise rare buffalo-headed parrotfish. A look into the blue water can be highly worthwhile: big fish such as sharks, barracudas, or swarms of mackerel and tuna fish are not uncommon here. With luck you can also find mantas and dolphins.

The entire rear impresses with its intact superstructure stairs, railing, davits, to portholes, hatches and the bridge make it a picture book wreck. Rocky Island: Rocky Island is a legendary dive site that makes every diver's heart beat faster. The fringing reef surrounding the entire island promotes the growth of all possible life forms. The reef walls are full of the most beautiful soft corals, gorgonians, sponges, black and fan corals. Due to its exposed location and the small reef extent, Rocky Island is a very lively reef. Reef sharks, especially gray reef sharks and silver tip sharks can be seen in the open water and maybe even mantas and dolphins. St. John's Reef: All of its dive sites are very close to each other, so it's easy to travel from one dive site to another on a liveaboard dive. St. John's offers a lot of variety in its dives: steep walls, tunnels, caves and stunning hard-coral formations. One of these dives (St. John`s Caves or Umm Kharalim) is truly unique and is a photographer's sky with rays of light shimmering through small tunnels.

Route Description - Daedalus & Fury Shoal

A great all-round tour for divers with a little more experience. The diving cruise offers some of the best dive sites in the Red Sea. Demanding dives, steep walls, beautiful coral walls and many big fish. In the Fury Shoals system, the Shaab Claudio captivates with its tunnels. Divers and photographers will be charmed. Skates, nudibranches, big napoleons and moray eels are common, white tip sharks or turtles can be spotted here.

Sha'ab Sataya is located just south of Fury Shoals, this huge natural lagoon is surrounded by a massive reef (Shaab). The fame of Sataya is its steep walls along with pelagic sightings, hard and soft corals. But the real stars are the huge herds of dolphins that are often found there, so Sataya is also called the "Dolphin House" of Hamata. Depending on the prevailing weather conditions, night dives can be done here.

Dive sites that can be dived on this tour are the Daedalus Reef: About 180 km south of Brother Islands, this huge reef is surrounded by steep walls and strong currents. The hard corals have grown to enormous size! Here you have a great chance on the famous hammerhead school in the north east of the reef.

Elphinstone Reef: This reef is known for shark encounters, white tip reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, gray reef sharks, fox sharks and of course, for what Elphinstone is famous for: the Longimanus - the oceanic white tip reef shark .
Elphinstone Reef or Sha'ab Abu Hamra, located 20 km from Marsa Alam, is a reef no larger than 300 meters in length. Its spectacular cliffs drop well over 100 meters on either side of the reef. Strong currents make this a perfect drift dive along cliffs covered with many species of fish and soft corals. Here you can see barracudas, angelfish and hordes of anthias, groupers, moray eels and swarms of sweetlips. The reef is covered with soft corals to the north. At the southern end of Elphinstone is an archway, with 65 feet of depth, this is far beyond the scuba diving limit, but best suited for Tek divers. Whitetip sharks also occasionally visit this area. Other types of sharks are regular visitors here - white tip and gray reef sharks as well as hammerhead sharks and silk sharks can be spotted.
The east side is a large wall, the west is less steep and a bit sandy. Overall, this area has a lot of soft corals, sponges, gorgonians and giant whip corals. Daedalus and Fury Shoal is a great combination for divers who love cliffs and big fish. The exact route and reefs that are visited are weather dependent and depend on the diving experience of our guests.
Start and end of the dive safari is in Port Ghalib

This P&O passenger and mail ship is shrouded in mystery. She was sunk in 1869 and only a fraction of the gold she was carrying has been recovered. The quality of light and abundance of sponge and table corals make her a favourite with underwater photographers.
This wreck is a favourite with divers from all over the world, although some consider her a war grave. The Thistlegorm was a World War 2 army cargo ship heading to supply the British 8th Army in North Africa. She was packed to the gills with machinery and ammunition when a German bomber sank her on 6 October 1941.

Translated from Arabic, Nuhas means brass - a name given to the reef by local fishermen after it claimed a ship carrying a cargo of brass.
