CLASSIC NORTH CRUISE

This cruise has something for everyone. Starting from Hurghada and sailing north, this route gives a perfect combination of reef and wreck diving. The famous horseshoe shaped reef of Sha'ab El Erg is a perfect example of the reefs on offer on this cruise with its beautiful hard coral garden and the chance to see dolphins. The reef of Abu Nuhas has four well-known wrecks: Ghiannis 'D', Carnatic, Chrissoula 'K' and the Kimon 'M', all offering spectacular dives and plenty of fish life. Gubal Island offers protected anchoring for superb night diving on a small wreck at 10-15 metres with lionfish, scorpion fish, resident giant moray eels and much more. A short ride across the Straits of Gubal and you visit the most famous wreck of the Red Sea, the SS Thistlegorm! This is an awe-inspiring World War II British vessel with a cargo full of armaments, Bedford trucks, BSA motorcycles and much more, which were all destined for the British troops in North Africa. She was sunk by the German Luftwaffe and now lies in 30 metres of water. Depending on divers' experience, weather and current conditions, we also try to offer a night dive here. Close by is the Ras Mohamed National Park, offering a morning dive at the 'Shark Reef', a sheer wall falling into the blue where two converging currents meet attracting an abundance of marine life and some of the most spectacular coral life of the Northern Red Sea.

DEEP SOUTH AND ST JOHNS

RED SEA VARIATION

After leaving the marina in Hurghada, the boat travels to the famous horseshoe shaped reef of Sha'ab El Erg where there is a really good chance to see dolphins. After this we visit SS Thistlegorm, one of the most famous World War II wrecks, a definite highlight of this cruise. The SS Thistlegorm was sunk in 1941, bombed by the German Luftwaffe, while on a mission to deliver a cargo of ammunition and other war materials to the British troops in North Africa. The Brother Islands are the pinnacles of two undersea mountains rising from the depths of the abyss and are located about 60 miles offshore from El Quesir. As 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 multitude of ever-changing colours. They attract a diverse array of marine species and large pelagics such as Tuna, Barracudas, Jacks and Snappers that cruise in the blue, accompanied by occasional Hammerheads, Thresher, Silky and Oceanic White Tip Sharks and Mantas. For the wreck diver, the wrecks of 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. Once back in Safaga we will head for the famous wreck of the Salem Express and the superb wall diving at Panorama before heading back towards the marina in Hurghada.
