Experienced Divers Page Title Shark

So you've got at least 50 dives but not sure where to go diving..

Our Egyptian red sea liveaboard itineraries are all suitable for your level of experience but what type of diving do you enjoy the most?

For those of you who enjoy a mixture of wrecks and reef diving I'd head to Sharm el Sheikh where we have itineraries to satisfy most whims. The Wrecks and Reefs covers a little bit of everything but for you wreck lovers why not go on a Get Wrecked or even a Brothers Wreck Special itinerary which take in most of the known wrecks in the northern red sea including the Thistlegorm, Rosalie Moller, Million Hope, and those out at Abu Nuhas.

If the "bigger fish" are more your thing, I'd head south to Hurghada or Marsa Alam and go on one of our southern itineraries "Simply the Best", "Brothers Islands" or "Daedalus, Rocky and St.Johns". Keep your eyes peeled in the blue for the pelagics, hammerheads, grey, oceanic and that elusive whale shark while enjoying the superb soft corals on the walls. However, it's worth noting that night diving is not permitted at the marine parks so if you're a fan of the dark, do bear this in mind.

If you like a slightly more easy-going pace in your diving but still want to see some sharks I'd go for a St Johns itinerary where you can experience wall dives, drift dives and night dives. There are some fantastic swim throughs to be found at some of the sites including "The Playground" and "Cathedral" and a myriad of colourful corals and marine life which are a definite must-see.

It's worth noting on all of our liveaboard itineraries that a large portion of the diving is from RIB's but rest assured that our excellent crews are always on hand to assist getting in and out of the RIB's.
