What you will see:

Big pelagics - all in one week

Three iconic sites. One flexible itinerary. Every dive plan is adapted to your certification level.

• Hammerhead sharks
  Two full days at Daedalus - the most reliable hammerhead site in the Red Sea. South plateau at 15-30m. Best sightings at dawn. Up to 5 shark species possible in a single week. (Daedalus Reef)

• Dolphins - snorkeling & scuba
  Sataya Dolphin House is home to a resident spinner dolphin pod. Snorkeling in the lagoon every morning. Scuba diving encounters possible in the surrounding reefs. (Sataya, Fury Shoal)

• Oceanic whitetip sharks
  Elphinstone's north and south plateaus at -20m and -40m. Oceanic whitetips present year-round. Early morning dives also produce hammerhead encounters. (Elphinstone Reef)

• Caves & coral gardens
  Fury Shoal sites - Maksur, Claudia, Malahy, Abu Galawa - offer spectacular coral formations, caves, and night dives. Two nights at anchor with torch dives included. (Sataya, Fury Shoal)

• Mantas & pelagic life
  Manta ray sightings are possible throughout the route. Turtles at Elphinstone and Marsa Alam area. Dugong encounters occasionally on Friday dives - ask the guide. (All sites)
