Sample Itinerary:

Day 1 – Arrival, Hurghada
Arrive in Hurghada and transfer to the liveaboard, your home for the week. You’ll be welcomed by the crew and guided through a full boat orientation and safety briefing. Settle into your cabin, enjoy the elegant surroundings, and finish the evening with a relaxing dinner as we prepare to set sail on your Red Sea adventure.
Day 2 – Gotta Shoab
As soon as the coast guard clears us for departure, we begin the expedition at Gotta Shoab, a vibrant reef system offering colorful coral formations, schooling fish, and excellent visibility. This site provides the perfect balance of relaxed reef exploration and blue-water anticipation as we make our way south toward the offshore islands. Expect healthy hard and soft corals, anthias clouds, and the first taste of the pow
Day 3 – Brothers Islands
We wake at the legendary Brothers Islands, two remote pinnacles rising dramatically from deep water in the middle of the Red Sea. Known for steep walls, strong currents, and consistent shark encounters, this is where the expedition shifts into high-energy offshore diving. Expect dramatic drop-offs, vibrant soft corals, and blue-water action with chances to see oceanic whitetips, grey reef sharks, and large schools of fish. Conditions permitting, we may also explore the historic Numidia or Aida wrecks resting along the island’s walls.
Day 4 – Daedalus Reef
Today we arrive at the remote offshore reef of Daedalus, a lighthouse-crowned pinnacle rising from deep water and known for some of the most exhilarating diving in the Red Sea. Steep walls, strong currents, and expansive coral formations define this site. Early morning dives offer the best chance for schooling scalloped hammerheads, along with reef sharks and massive schools of fish moving through the blue. Daedalus delivers classic open-ocean Red Sea liveaboard diving at its most dramatic.
Day 5 – Elphinstone Reef
We continue south to the iconic Elphinstone Reef, one of the most famous Red Sea liveaboard dive sites. Known for its dramatic vertical walls and exposed plateaus, Elphinstone is a hotspot for pelagic encounters. Expect strong drift conditions, vibrant soft corals, and the possibility of oceanic whitetips cruising the reef edge. With its sheer drop-offs and deep-blue backdrop, this is high-energy offshore diving at its finest.
Day 6 – Safaga
Today we dive the waters of Safaga, including a visit to the Salem Express, a large passenger ferry resting on the seabed of the northern Red Sea. Lying in relatively shallow water, the wreck offers an impressive structure with corridors, railings, and deck features still clearly visible. Over time, coral growth and marine life have begun to reclaim the vessel, creating a striking blend of scale, atmosphere, and reflection. This dive adds a meaningful and distinctive element to your Red Sea liveaboard experience.
Day 7 – Giftun Islands
Our final dives take place around the beautiful Giftun Islands, including sites such as Small Giftun and Abu Ramada. These colorful reef systems offer thriving hard and soft corals, schooling reef fish, turtles, and excellent visibility. With gentler profiles and relaxed drift conditions, this is the perfect way to wind down your Red Sea liveaboard adventure before returning to port.
Day 8 – Departure Day
After a final breakfast on board, it’s time to say farewell to the crew and your fellow divers. We will arrange comfortable transportation back to Hurghada International Airport or to local hotels for those extending their stay in Egypt.
