Sailing itineraries

Hurghada Siyul Kebir Abu Nuhas
We depart on Sunday morning from Hurghada, heading to Siyul Kebir, an island featuring a long reef... see+ dotted with coral heads. With depths ranging from 5 to 30 meters, you can easily enter the water and admire this underwater aquarium! Another option is the Shaab El Erg (Dolphin House) site, where you’ll dive in the channel between the two islands—a spot where schools of dolphins are often found, making for a delightful swim! Look out for moray eels, stingrays, and large napoleon wrasses… In the afternoon, we head to the Abu Nuhas reef, a veritable treasure trove of shipwrecks. You’ll have the choice between the stunning Giannis D, which will reveal its holds and secrets as it lies at a 50-degree angle on its side, or the majestic Carnatic, a 19th-century steamship that carried precious woods and alcohol. It’s said that this wreck also carried gold coins, only a small portion of which have ever been recovered!

Abu Nuhas
Still at Abu Nuhas Reef, you’ll make your second wreck dive, either on the Carnatic or the... see+ Giannis D.

Next, we’ll stop at the Thistlegorm wreck, considered one of the most beautiful wrecks in the world. It is a veritable treasure trove where motorcycles, trucks, tanks, train cars, and countless shells, rifles, and ammunition will transport you back to 1941, the year this 137-meter ship sank. At the stern, a school of barracudas keeps watch over the site, along with trevally. Your return to the surface will be accompanied by the elegant, ever-curious flatfish. Two dives are planned on this wreck.

Located at the... see+ tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Shark Reef/Yolanda Reef is a vertical wall sloping to a depth of nearly 800 m. This dive will reveal the most beautiful aspects of the Red Sea. Sail to the protected lagoon of Tiran where you will make two dives: Jackson Reef, a drop-off and plateau where the wreck of the Lara lies at 71 m. For all recreational divers, this drop-off will delight you with its lush fixed fauna. Pelagic fish, including hammerhead sharks, may be seen during the summer. The last dive of the day at Gordon Reef is sure to enchant you with the site's radiant colors.

After spending the night in Tiran, you’ll start the day at Thomas Reef, a plateau at a depth of... see+ 25 meters—a veritable forest of fire coral inhabited by all the Red Sea’s reef species, not to mention a school of gregarious goatfish, an endemic species. A little further north of this plateau lies the “fault,” a corridor that starts at a depth of 35 meters and ends at… 93 meters! A true natural fault—or, depending on your preferences, you’ll explore different sections of this break. An incredible descent to the center of the earth!! Thrills guaranteed! The final site in Tiran is Woodhouse Reef, the northernmost reef in Tiran, featuring a swim over a plateau between 15 and 20 meters deep where you may also encounter the entrances to very deep caves. A multicolored garden where the sun’s rays make the colors burst forth! In the afternoon, we’ll sail back, stopping once again at the Ras Mohamed drop-off to enjoy its rich, multicolored flora and fauna.

This wreck is magical, with a special atmosphere and teeming with life. After breakfast, head to Gubal Island where you will dive on a plateau that is home to dozens of different species.
