Explore the magnificent Fury Shoals on your way to Sha’ab Sharm, where you can witness wall dives and white tip reef sharks. Keep an eye out for oceanic white tips and silky sharks in the blue, while turtles often visit the south side before heading further south. At Sha’ab Claude, immerse yourself in the famous swim-throughs and observe the huge porite corals. Head a little off the reef to the South to catch a glimpse of a white tip reef shark and an anemone and clownfish settlement. And at Abu Galawa Soraya, revel in the beauty of the fantastic coral garden and explore the wreck of a private sailing boat inhabited by glass fish.
Discover the remote and rewarding diving experience in St Johns, a vast collection of small reefs located a short distance north of the Sudanese border. The reef covers a huge area, and you will need several dives to explore the numerous coral heads and islands. Giant gorgonians and black corals can be found at Habili Ali, while the west side is home to grey reef, silvertip, and schools of hammerhead sharks. Habili Gafaar is a mass of soft corals teeming with shoals of snappers, butterfly fish, and barracudas. Look out for mantas, grey reef, and silvertip sharks in the blue.
Witness jacks, barracudas, and the occasional manta at Gota Kebir, a massive reef famous for its tunnels and south plateau. The tunnels are perfect for novice cave divers. Gota Soraya is possibly one of the best wall dives in the Red Sea, with overhangs and cracks in the reef wall full of glass fish and sweepers, as well as an abundance of corals and Grey Reef, Silvertips, and Hammerhead sharks.
On the last day, enjoy a dive or two on the world-famous Elphinstone Reef if weather and diver experience permit. Alternatively, finish in the Abu Dabab area with another dive or two closer to Port Ghalib to relax and unwind before your final night in port.

Egypt’s Red Sea is a thrilling dive destination, famous for its vibrant coral reefs, impressive shipwrecks, and a wide range of stunning marine life, including sharks. With around 49 different shark species inhabiting the surrounding waters, you’re likely to encounter several of these fascinating creatures during your visit. Here are some of the most commonly spotted shark species in the Red Sea:
Reef Sharks Grey reef sharks, blacktip reef sharks, and whitetip reef sharks are the most commonly sighted species in the Red Sea.
Hammerhead Sharks The Red Sea is home to the striking scalloped hammerhead sharks. You can spot them during early morning dives, emerging from the depths to visit cleaning stations or gathering at current-swept drop-offs.
Oceanic Whitetip Sharks One of the most dynamic animals you’ll encounter diving in the Red Sea, the striking pelagic oceanic whitetip shark is a fascinating sight. With proper guidance from your dive guide, you can experience a safe and responsible up-close encounter with this incredible predator.
Tiger Sharks While tiger sharks are among the rarest and most elusive species in the Red Sea, they do patrol the open ocean and may be seen if luck is on your side.
Whale Sharks Certain spots in Egypt’s northern and southern Red Sea become hotspots for whale sharks for a few months every year. These massive filter feeders can be spotted cruising in the shallows, feasting on their favorite meal – plankton.
Leopard Sharks Also known as zebra sharks, these spotted bottom-dwellers are most often encountered resting on the reef or sand.
Thresher Sharks A highlight of any dive trip, thresher sharks are among the Red Sea’s most shy and elusive species. Luckily, several famous dive sites offer regular sightings.
Liveaboard diving is widely regarded as the ultimate way to experience an unforgettable diving vacation. For many seasoned divers, this type of adventure is essential for exploring remote destinations, such as Costa Rica’s Cocos Islands or The Galapagos Islands. Liveaboard charters offer the unique opportunity to explore vast areas and dive different parts of a country, such as the Maldives or Raja Ampat.
A liveaboard is a purpose-built scuba diving vessel or an existing boat that has been adapted to cater to divers. These trips typically last longer than one night, with the average duration being 7 nights. Liveaboard boats can host between 12 and 30 divers, although smaller and larger vessels are also available. Most liveaboard packages include diving, food, and drinks.
