A Red Sea Dive Safari Where Pelagic’s Meet Serenity
Embark on one of the most diverse and awe-inspiring dive routes in the Southern Red Sea. From the thrilling walls of Daedalus and Elphinstone, home to pelagic encounters and spectacular reefs, to the peaceful, dolphin-filled lagoon of Sataya—this live-aboard itinerary blends adrenaline, beauty, and calm in perfect harmony.
🔱 Daedalus Reef
Remote and encircled by deep blue, Daedalus is a magnet for scalloped hammerhead sharks, often seen cruising in schools in the early morning. Its steep walls are covered in vibrant soft corals, while tuna, barracuda, and giant trevallies patrol the current-rich waters. A true offshore wonder, complete with a solitary lighthouse standing guard.
🌊 Elphinstone Reef
One of Egypt’s most iconic reefs, Elphinstone delivers fast drifts and breathtaking vertical drop-offs. Look out for grey reef sharks, whitetips, and sometimes even oceanic whitetips appearing from the deep blue. The reef’s coral plateausand colorful marine life make every dive here a visual feast and a thrill ride.
🐬 Sataya Lagoon (Dolphin Reef)
A peaceful contrast to the deep walls, Sataya offers calm, shallow waters ideal for snorkeling and relaxed dives. The highlight here is the chance to swim alongside wild spinner dolphins in their natural environment—a magical, emotional experience for divers and non-divers alike. With its sandy seabed, coral bommies, and tranquil ambiance, Sataya is the perfect place to breathe, float, and reconnect with the sea.
