This itinerary focuses on Egypt’s most offshore and exposed reefs, where currents attract large pelagics. The Brothers often host oceanic whitetip sharks and thresher sharks. Daedalus is home to a resident school of hammerheads, as well as pristine soft-coral walls. Elphinstone Reef is famed for its north plateau, where barracuda, turtles, and Napoleon wrasse patrol the drop‑off, and for its south plateau, where white-tip reef sharks cruise. Visibility reaches 40 m; water temperatures vary from 24 °C in spring to 28 °C in early autumn. Negative entries and strong currents mean this trip suits divers with good buoyancy control and previous deep‑water experience. Bring a reef hook for comfortable viewing in strong current zones.

  • Minimum 50 logged dives and Advanced//Deep certification strongly advised.
  • Conditions can involve strong currents and negative entries; bring a reef hook and be confident with mid‑water safety stops.
  • Water temperatures range 24–28 °C; a 5 mm wetsuit is recommended.
  • Respect marine park rules—no touching or feeding wildlife.
