DEEP SOUTH ROUTE – THE WILD RED SEA
Head south from Marsa Alam and discover some of the most remote dive sites of the Egyptian Red Sea, where long reef walls, caves, coral gardens and encounters with pelagic species make every day different.
At Daedalus Reef, dive along walls that disappear into the deep blue, with the chance to meet schooling hammerheads, oceanic whitetips and other pelagic species.  St. John’s is a maze of reefs, walls and caves, with sites such as Gota Kebir and Gota Soraya offering swim-throughs, overhangs and coral-covered drop-offs where large schools of fish move through the reef. At Fury Shoal, explore a collection of reefs with plenty of variety, from coral gardens and pinnacles to the famous shallow caves of Sha’ab Claudia. At Sataya Reef, the large lagoon is also known for its spinner dolphins, which can often be seen in the area. Elphinstone Reef brings the route back towards Marsa Alam, with its long plateaus and steep walls dropping into open water. It is particularly known for encounters with oceanic whitetip sharks, while hammerheads and other pelagic species can also appear depending on the conditions. The route can also include Safaga, where reefs such as Panorama Reef and Abu Kafan offer wall dives, coral-covered plateaus and the possibility of seeing larger reef and pelagic species.
