Liveaboard diving in the Egyptian Red Sea is spectacular, the land is known for its ancient history - Pharaohs and Pyramids but is also a mecca for scuba divers and snorkellers. Wrecks, colourful corals and big fish abound but it's the off-shore sites such as Daedalus, The Brothers & St. Johns, only reachable by dive liveaboards which can provide the ultimate thrill and the best experience.
From Hurghada or Port Ghalib
Our Red Sea liveaboards bring you to the Brothers Islands to offer amazing dive tours, most famous for their multitude of shark action, brightly coloured corals and anthias. You could spend a week at the Brothers Islands alone, but a 'Simply the Best' route to the Brothers, Daedalus and Elphinstone provide the opportunity to see Manta rays, Oceanic white tip sharks and the wonderful Anemone City. Some liveaboard dive safaris also stop at Marsa Alam where dugongs can be sighted. Explore the Deep South from Port Ghalib (Marsa Ghalib) with a dive safari to Fury Shoals, St Johns reefs or Rocky and Zabargad. Dive sites vary from steep walls to caverns and wrecks with plenty of pelagic action to be expected. The best Egypt liveaboards make it possible to dive these magnificent areas all year round though itineraries offered may vary with the seasons

Guests usually arrive the day or night before the departure from the port. The boats tend to depart from the ports very early in the morning so that guests can immediately enjoy their first 'check dive' with their dive guides, on a shallow, current free, yet stunningly beautiful reef dive, and can then expect 3-4 dives per day usually. The Red Sea is renowned for incredible underwater visibility and lush wildlife. It is very rare to be disappointed with any dive site in Egypt.
The check dive will allow the dive guide to gauge the experience and comfort level of the group and individual divers. This information will help the captain and crew to choose the best dive sites suited to the guests and the current weather conditions.
Guests can ask to visit specific dive sites, and most boat captains will do everything they can to oblige. Liveaboard itineraries are subject to various unpredictable changes including weather conditions. All dives and especially some wreck dives are subject to divers experience and weather permitting. Liveaboard itineraries are dependent on the Egyptian government, coast guard and/or marine police approval. Every effort is made but liveaboards cannot guarantee diving at specific dive sites. The final decision lies with the captain and guide. Safety always comes first!
