Day 1: Arrival in Hurghada

• Welcome at Hurghada Airport and transfer to the boat, docked at the Marriott marina.

Days 2 to 7: Unforgettable Dives
Departure on Sunday morning for a 6-day cruise with a minimum of 16 dives (2 to 3 per day, except on the first and last day). Here’s a glimpse of the must-see sites you’ll explore:

Sha’ab El Erg

• A stunning reef, famous for its dolphin pods and crystal-clear waters. Perfect for a check dive or night dive.

Abu Nuhas: The Ship Graveyard

• This reef, feared by sailors, is home to four well-preserved wrecks, each with its own unique story:

  • The Carnatic: A 90-meter steamship, sunk in 1869. Its cargo of gold ingots and colorful corals make it a fascinating site.

  • The Ghiannis D: A 100-meter cargo ship, sunk in 1983, covered in sponges and soft corals.

  • The Chrisoula K: A 100-meter Greek cargo ship, lying on its starboard side at 26 meters deep.

  • The Kimon M: The “lentil wreck,” home to a colony of hatchetfish.

The SS Thistlegorm

• A legendary wreck discovered by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the 1950s. This British cargo ship, sunk in 1941, still carries Bedford trucks, motorcycles, weapons, and even locomotives. A historic and moving dive.

Ras Mohammed

• A jewel of the Red Sea, this marine reserve features sheer drop-offs, vibrant coral gardens, and abundant marine life: sharks, Napoleon wrasses, manta rays, and much more.

The Brothers Islands

• Big Brother and Little Brother are two remote islets, ranked among the top 10 dive sites in the world.

  • Big Brother is home to two iconic wrecks: the Numidia and the Aïda, as well as a Victorian lighthouse.

  • Little Brother offers spectacular drop-offs and encounters with gray reef sharks, whitetips, and barracudas.
