Day 1
If you arrive at Marsa Alam Airport on the start date you will be met there and transferred to the boat at Port Ghalib harbour. You can board the liveaboard in the afternoon, settle into your cabin and assemble your equipment. There will be a boat briefing when all guests are on board on the first day. Dinner is served in the evening and the boat will remain in the harbour on the first night departing in the morning of the second day.
Days 2-7
Start the day with a breakfast of cereals, juice, fresh fruits and hot entrees. The 1st dive follows soon after breakfast, followed by a snack and then the 2nd dive. A buffet style lunch gives you a chance to chat about your morning encounters which may include big-eye trevally, schools of barracuda and of course sharks. You might even snorkel with dolphins.
Soups, salads and pasta or rice dishes are common lunch items. The menu provides a mix of local Egyptian and international cuisine, all enjoyed in the air-conditioned restaurant on the upper deck. After some downtime after lunch, it will soon be time for the 3rd dive of the day. Daedalus Reef is famed for exhilarating encounters with grey reef sharks, thresher sharks, hammerheads and oceanic whitetips.
On St John's Reef dive cruises there will follow a 4th and, on some days, a 5th dive (night dive), so snacks will keep the hunger away before dinner. The Red Sea dive sites are varied and can involve a coral lagoon, exposed reefs and wall dives, caverns and tunnels, and great sheltered bays for night diving. During dinner you can sample local dishes like babaganoush, foul beans and hummus, and wash it down with a glass of wine or beer, if your diving is finished for the day. You can even arrange a massage with the on-board masseuse to rub any aches away.
The final evening involves a cocktail party and a meal in an onshore restaurant to reminisce about the highlights of your Red Sea liveaboard diving safari.
Day 8
You will wake up after a calm night in the harbour to enjoy breakfast. The crew will then transfer you to Marsa Alam Airport in time for your flight.

A buffet style lunch gives you a chance to chat about your morning encounters which may include manta rays, shark action and other big pelagics cruising along a vibrant, colourful wall.
Soups, salads and pasta or rice dishes are common lunch items. The menu provides a mix of local and international cuisine, all enjoyed in the air-conditioned restaurant on the upper deck. After some downtime after lunch, it will soon be time for the 3rd and then 4th dives before dinner.
Whether you are experiencing wrecks or wall dives, you will see both the small and colourful, and the big and meaty! One night dive is offered in this itinerary, since there is no night diving allowed at the Brothers or Daedalus Reef. Normally dinner means the end of the day's diving so as you sample local dishes like babaganoush, foul beans and hummus, you can wash it down with a glass of wine or beer.
The final evening involves a cocktail party and a meal in an onshore restaurant to reminisce about the highlights of your Red Sea liveaboard diving safari.
Day 8
You will wake up after a calm night in the harbour having returned to the harbour on the previous afternoon, which included 2 dives that day. The crew will transfer you to Marsa Alam airport in time for your flight.
