Route Description - Daedalus & Fury Shoal
A great all-round tour for divers with a little more experience. The diving cruise offers guests some of the best diving spots in the Red Sea.
Sha’ab Sataya, located at the southern edge of Fury Shoals, is a vast natural lagoon encircled by a massive reef. Known as the “Dolphin House” of Hamata, it offers drop-offs, vibrant coral formations, and frequent encounters with large pods of dolphins. Night dives may be possible depending on conditions.
•Daedalus Reef, over 180 km south of the Brothers, features dramatic drop-offs, powerful currents, and expansive hard coral growth. It’s a hotspot for schooling hammerhead sharks, especially on the northeast side.
•Elphinstone Reef, just 20 km from Marsa Alam, is a narrow 300-meter reef famous for its steep walls and strong currents, making it ideal for drift dives. Divers can expect to see oceanic whitetips (Longimanus), hammerheads, gray reef sharks, and more. The site is rich with soft corals, sponges, gorgonians, and whip corals, and even features a deep southern archway for tech divers.
This route is ideal for advanced divers seeking big fish, deep walls, and remote reef systems. Final itineraries depend on weather and diver experience.
