North and Safaga

North and Safaga is a new itinerary designed to take in the best of the northern Red Sea plus a little south of Hurghada to Safaga, with a combination of world-famous wrecks, incredible drop-offs and reef systems. This is a great choice for the winter months when the weather does not allow travel to the off-shore Marine Parks, and also provides excellent opportunity for courses such as Advanced Open Water or Deep and Wreck specialties.

Start the week with a check dive before heading north for an afternoon and night dive.

Spend four days cruising the northern Red Sea. Normally you will have the opportunity to make three day dives and a night dive each day. The exact itinerary and order of dive sites will vary depending on the conditions but, you can expect to visit several wrecks including The Thistlegorm and Salem Express. There is also some fantastic reef diving including the Ras Mohamed marine park, Panorama Reef and Abu Kefan off Safagara, Sha'ab El Erg (famous for dolphin encounters) and the Island of Gobal.

Enjoy two relaxed morning dives close to Hurghada allowing you to cruise into harbour in the early afternoon. Take advantage of an evening onshore to purchase souvenirs and enjoy Egypt's famous hospitality before your journey home the next day.

The itinerary above is an example of the planned route and dive sites cannot be guaranteed. All dive sites are subject to weather conditions and the final route taken is at the absolute discretion of the captain and dive guides. You must have completed 20 dives in order to dive Thistlegorm.
