St. John’s
Located in the far south of Egypt, the dive sites of St. John’s are known for their remarkable diversity and dramatic underwater topography. Numerous reefs of varying sizes rise from the depths, creating a stunning mosaic of habitats. One of the standout sites is Cave Reef, a shallow cavern system where divers can swim through illuminated corridors formed by the reef itself, offering magical light effects and a truly atmospheric experience.
Zabargad Island
Measuring approximately 3.5 kilometers in length, Zabargad Island is home to several intriguing dive sites. Among its highlights is an unidentified 70-meter-long wreck lying at depths of 1 to 24 meters, with its mast even breaching the surface at low tide. Divers can explore both the bridge and engine room of this accessible wreck. Additionally, a beautiful hard coral garden graces the island’s western side, while a colorful southern plateau offers further variety and marine life.
Rocky Island
A small and remote island near Zabargad, Rocky Island boasts one of the Red Sea’s most legendary dive sites. It is encircled by a steeply descending fringing reef, rich with gorgonians, soft corals, and fan corals. Marine life flourishes here, and divers may be fortunate enough to spot larger pelagics such as grey reef sharks, whitetip reef sharks, and even dolphins, making every dive a potential adventure.
