Egypt 1 - St. John's 2026

The most beautiful coral reefs in southern Egypt near the border with Sudan. The destination of this expedition is the world famous St. John's Reef, located almost off the Sudanese coast, approximately 20km from Zabargad. There are 5 main reefs spread over 14 square miles, forming a beautiful underwater landscape ranging from beautiful coral gardens to walls that drop to depths of several hundred feet with a huge variety of corals and abundant underwater life. Along the way you will also visit other sites such as Sha'ab Aiman - a marine reserve guarded by whitetip sharks, Dolphin Reef - known for its large dolphin population, Sha'ab Mahrus and Sha'ab Shrab - famous rock walls hiding many caves with the possibility of seeing grey, whitetip and hammerhead sharks, Claudia reef - a cave labyrinth. The ship departs from Marsa Alam and already on the way to St. John's Islands we visit amazing sites. We will dive in areas where there is a great abundance of dolphins, swim-through caves and living coral gardens. On St. John's itself, we'll have the chance to spot sharks, the walls covered in soft corals that provide shelter for small and larger fish. Near the walls, predatory crustaceans scurry and hunt in schools of fish, which in itself encourages early dives when they are most active. This offer is suitable for OWD holders or those interested in the AOWD license or its equivalent. For those interested in expanding their diving knowledge we offer AOWD, NITROX, RESCUE courses.
