Safaga Ghalib Port
We set off on Sunday morning for Ras Abu Soma, a beautiful coral garden in shallow waters, for a... see+ gentle reintroduction to diving! For the second dive of the day, we head to Safaga and the Panorama Reef site. On the north side, a collection of giant gorgonians awaits us at around 30 meters. You’ll also find a vibrant display of purple alcyonarians there. On the south side, along the drop-off, there are numerous cavities in the wall—fingers crossed—and we might spot some nurse sharks or whitetip sharks… Departing from Port Ghalib, we’ll head out for your first dives on Sunday to the sites of Marsa Shoona to encounter the large green sea turtles of the Red Sea, or to the stunning reefs of Abu Dabbab.

Small Brother Island will be your second or third dive, its east and west walls rich in lush fauna (alcyonarians and gorgonians).

Next, you’ll head to the Thistlegorm, considered one of the most beautiful shipwrecks in the world. It’s 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-long ship sank. At the stern, a school of barracudas keeps watch over the area, along with trevally. Your return to the surface will be accompanied by the elegant, ever-curious flatfish. Two dives are planned on this wreck.

This wreck is magical; it exudes a unique atmosphere and teems with marine life. After breakfast, we’ll head to Gubal Island, where you’ll dive on a reef where dozens of different species coexist—you might even get to play with dolphins! A night dive is planned at this site.

The engine room is accessible. Be sure to check out its heavily encrusted and teeming-with-life mast—it’s breathtaking. 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 has ever been recovered! Keep your eyes peeled for cleaner shrimp and nudibranchs hiding among this lush marine life. In the afternoon, return to Gubal for a dive at Bluff Point, a drift dive where you can effortlessly admire the abundance of corals, and, for the lucky ones, spot turtles and dolphins passing by.
