Zabargad features a seamount with giant gorgonians, while Rocky Island is home to tuna, barracuda and occasional sharks. Sataya Dolphin Reef offers multiple chances to snorkel with spinner dolphins, guided by a marine biologist. Night dives reveal soft corals and Spanish dancer nudibranchs. Water temperatures peak around 30 °C, with visibility 25–35 m. The 9‑day itinerary balances high‑adrenaline dives with beach barbecues and stargazing on remote islands, giving divers a rare glimpse of the Red Sea’s untouched wilderness.

  • Advanced Open Water certification (40+ dives) recommended.
  • Water temps 27–30 °C; 3–5 mm wetsuit with hood for comfort.
  • Night dives require primary and back‑up torches.
  • Some crossings are longer; motion‑sickness tablets can help.
