Welcome to the South Red Sea
South Red Sea isn’t your casual reef holiday- it’s Egypt’s untamed south.
Picture hammerheads patrolling deep walls, oceanic whitetips circling Elphinstone, and soft coral gardens exploding with color. Every dive here tests your skills and rewards you with some of the Red Sea’s most exhilarating encounters.
With iconic sites like Daedalus, Fury Shoals, and Elphinstone, this liveaboard journey is for divers who crave both adrenaline and beauty.
Where You’ll Be Diving
Sipadan Island
One of the world’s top five dive destinations. Expect adrenaline-pumping drift dives, massive schools of fish, bumphead parrotfish, sharks, and turtle encounters on nearly every dive.
Mabul Island
Welcome to macro heaven. Frogfish, ghost pipefish, flamboyant cuttlefish, and other rare critters make every inch of the reef worth inspecting.
Kapalai Reef
A beautiful blend of sandy slopes and artificial reefs. Perfect for chilled-out dives with surprising marine life and loads of photography opportunities.
Seaventures House Reef
Your personal playground beneath the rig. Dive in at your own pace—day or night—and uncover a world teeming with marine life right under your feet.
Daedalus Reef
A massive offshore reef, home to schools of hammerheads, trevallies, and barracuda, plus pristine coral walls.
Fury Shoals
A diver’s playground of caves, lagoons, and pinnacles, where dolphins often join the dives.
Elphinstone
Steep walls dropping into the blue. Expect oceanic whitetip sharks, schooling fish, and heart-racing drift dives.
