NAUTICA SAFARI

Top of the North is (as the name suggests) a safari tour during which we will visit the most beautiful dive sites in the northern part of the Red Sea. During the 6 days of diving Egypt's most famous wrecks, reefs located in the vicinity of Safaga and the Sinai Peninsula, as well as the iconic Brothers Islands await us. We will begin our safari with coastal checking dives in the area around Hurghada. In the evening, we will embark on an overnight cruise to the open sea to spend the next day at the famous Brothers Islands. We will make 3 dives on Big Brother and Little Brother, during which we will visit, among others, the wreck of the "Numidia" lying off the northern plateau of the island and the wreck of the freighter "Aida" submerged off the western part of the reef. Our last dive of the day will be off the southern plateau, where we will have the opportunity to encounter whitetip sharks, gray reef sharks and, if we are lucky, even hammerhead sharks. In the afternoon we will take dinghies to the island to watch the spectacular sunset from the very top of the lighthouse. Little Brother is only two kilometers away, we will make mostly one dive there along the steeply sloping walls of the island. Swimming among rows of stately gorgonians, we will look out for gray reef sharks and hammerheads, and wait for whitetip sharks circling around the moored boats before exiting the water. This route is not only beautiful reefs and stately animals, but also the aforementioned exceptionally large number of wrecks. During the following dive days we will visit the wreck of the Salem Express ferry and the Steel Reef, which owes its name to the five ships lying at its foot. We will dive at the wrecks "Ghiannis D", "Carnatica" and "Chrisoula" and perform a night dive. In the area of Ras Mohammad National Park we will dive at the famous Shark and Yolanda reefs and at Mahmud Ed visiting the Dunraven wreck. The safari participants will have the chance to dive twice at the most famous wreck of the Red Sea, the "SS Thistlegorm", whose interiors hide a veritable museum of World War II. On the last day of the safari we will visit the wreck of the chaser "El Mina" and the reefs located near Hurghada. The route is designed for advanced and intermediate divers. The required grade is OWD/P1 and at least 20 dives performed.

Shaab Marsa - the perfect start to a safari A tranquil reef that allows you to get into the rhythm of diving, check your equipment and prepare for more challenging sites. It's a good introduction to the rest of the Red Sea diving safari. Fury Shoal - tunnels, caves and dolphins in Sataya The Fury Shoal area - especially Malahi and Claudia offer systems of caves and corridors full of light play, and Sataya is a famous lagoon where you can meet dolphins. It's a must-see point for any diving safari in the south of Egypt. Daedalus Reef - open water and hammerhead sharks A lonely reef located far from the shore. This is one of the best places in Egypt for encounters with hammerhead sharks and other pelagic species. Steep walls covered with soft corals create extraordinary landscapes. Wadi Gimal - unspoiled natural reefs The Wadi Gimal area has for years been regarded as a "quiet corner" of the Red Sea. There is an exceptional amount of life here: turtles, moray eels, wingfish, flocks of parrotfish and large gorgonians. This is a great place for those looking for calm, colorful dives. Elphinstone Reef - iconic reef with sharks One of Egypt's most famous reefs, famous for: - vertical walls, - red soft corals, - and occasional encounters with hammerheads. Abu Dabab - corridors, sponges and macro The Abu Dabab Reef is a maze of corridors and formations rising from the sandy bottom. Here you can meet green turtles, stingrays and beautiful maroon sponges covering the walls. Safaga - Panorama Reef and Salem Express wreck Panorama Reef is a classic of the Red Sea: an abundance of coral, large fish and great visibility. Salem - a symbolic site and a majestic wreck.

Safari in Egypt - Wrecks and Reefs of the North This is the northernmost route of the Red Sea. It was created not only for wreck diving enthusiasts, but also for lovers of the beautiful reefs of the Red Sea, which will not be missing on our way. Eager divers will have the opportunity to complete a wreck diving course. We will start the safari with check dives near Hurghada. On the second day we will head towards the Steel Reef (Abu Nuhas), which has taken a sizable toll of as many as five vessels. There we will make three dives, dispelling myths about the small number of marine animals inhabiting the wrecks. On the Steel Reef it will be possible to meet a stingray, barracuda, turtle, hornbill, and with luck even a dolphin. However, the Northern Safari is not only wrecks - we will also dive in the beautiful Ras Mohammed Marine National Park and its colorful reefs. Let's not forget about the numerous night dives, during which we will look for colorful nudibranch snails, lilyfish, hermit crayfish, feathered worms and snakeheads. On the way back towards Hurghada awaits us the famous SS "Thistlegorm", which, sunk in 1941 by German bombers, has become a veritable museum of World War II. We usually arrive at the wreck in the afternoon, and it is also possible to make an unforgettable night dive at this site. On the penultimate day we visit the beautiful reefs around Safaga, such as Panorama and AbuKafan, as well as the wreck of the Salem Express. On the last day we will visit the gorgonian forests surrounding Giftun Island and, often referred to as the "Aquarium", the Gota Aburamada Reef. The minimum grade required is OWD/P1 and a minimum of 20 dives experience.

VIII Rally of Underwater Photographers on Vis The Rally of Underwater Photographers on VIS ISLAND IN CROATIA Are you an underwater photographer or are you planning to become one? The Photographers' Rally on Vis is the best breeding ground for talent, a place and time where you will gain maximum knowledge and inspiration! In our diving base Nautica Vis Diving Center we organize every year a meeting integrating the community of Polish underwater photographers. The schedule of the week is usually tight to the limit: each day we swim to the positions at least twice, jump into the water, spending so much time in one place until the battery drain indicator starts blinking or the message about the lack of space on the card appears, then we return to the base to dress up the photos until late at night, discuss what could be done better, polish them in Lightroom and finally - enjoy them! The dive sites available on Visa offer great opportunities. Photographers get a unique chance to hone their skills in terms of wreck photography, cave photography, macro photography... Full choice! Not to mention the pleasant social aspect, for which the base facilities are also very well prepared ☺ Each underwater photographer is a separate story, they differ in their approach (although mostly they treat it as a hobby), and - most importantly - in style. Their photos are the result of a compilation of eye, mind, chosen equipment, outdoors and processing. The final result is a brilliantly composed, atmospheric image whose style is unmistakably recognized by knowledgeable admirers. This can be perfectly observed on the blog http://fotografpodwodny.pl/ This season there will again be an opportunity to meet and work on a common wave! The Nautica Vis Diving Center base will host the next edition of the Foto Projekt. This will be the eighth Underwater Photographers Meeting in the history of the base on the Vis! We invite you together with Irena Stangierska Photography, Fotopodwodna.pl, Fotograf Podwodny and sponsors for a week of diving, photography and conversation. The meeting is not a commercial course or workshop. There will be no lecturers or course participants. However, we hope for another exchange of experience and diving and social integration of the community of underwater photographers and filmmakers.Greetings Piotr Stós, Dominika Aleksanderek and the Nautika Crew
