The boat journeys to legendary Red Sea sites, including the Tiran region (Gordon, Thomas, Woodhouse, and Jackson), the Abu Nuhas wrecks, SS Thistlegorm, and the Brothers Islands. The itinerary features 5.5 days of diving, with 3-4 immersions on standard days and 2-3 dives scheduled for the opening and closing days. Frequent sightings include Napoleon wrasse, eagle rays, and several shark varieties such as oceanic whitetips, thresher sharks, and hammerheads.

Base rates do not include dive permits, port charges, reef taxes, or marine park fees; the total cost for these permits and fuel supplements typically varies between 180 and 250 EUR per trip. · Marine park fees and port taxes — approx. €150–200 per person per week (paid in cash on board)
Two-way shuttle service between the vessel and the airport or regional hotels is included.
We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
Scuba gear and snorkeling kits are available for rent at an extra cost (specific pricing available on request).
