Rocky Island is a small remote island near the Sudanese border and one of the most iconic dive sites in the southern Red Sea. Its steep walls, covered with both hard and soft corals, descend into the deep, creating a habitat for a wide variety of pelagic and reef species.
\nDuring the dive, you’ll explore pristine coral reefs, swim-throughs, and overhangs, with regular opportunities to encounter oceanic whitetip sharks, grey reef sharks, and tuna. Thanks to its remote location, Rocky Island remains one of the best-preserved dive sites in Egypt.<\/p>\n

Zabargad Island is the largest natural island in the Egyptian Red Sea and one of the region’s best-preserved dive sites. It offers pristine coral reefs, giant gorgonians, vibrant marine life, and exceptional visibility, making it one of the most photogenic highlights of the entire expedition.<\/p>\n

Unlike the more exposed drift dives at Brothers and Rocky Island, Zabargad offers more relaxed dives with plenty of time to photograph and explore the intricate details of its vibrant coral reefs.<\/p>\n

Also known as the Deep South route, this expedition takes you to the southernmost dive sites in the Egyptian Red Sea. Rocky Island, Zabargad Island, and St. John’s Reef are among Egypt’s most remote dive destinations, which means the liveaboard makes longer overnight crossings between dive sites during the expedition.<\/p>\n

This remoteness is exactly what makes the expedition so special. It takes you to reefs that simply can’t be reached on day trips, offering a completely different diving experience.<\/p>\n

We recommend a minimum certification of PADI Advanced Open Water Diver <\/strong>or an equivalent qualification. Most dives take place at deeper offshore sites with currents, making this certification level ideal for a safe and comfortable diving experience.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”ARE THE LONG CROSSINGS BETWEEN DIVE SITES CHALLENGING?” css=””]<\/p>\n

The Deep South is one of the most remote liveaboard itineraries in the Red Sea, so expect longer overnight crossings between dive sites. Most of the sailing takes place at night, allowing you to make the most of your diving during the day.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”CAN I COMPLETE A PADI COURSE DURING THE EXPEDITION?” css=””]<\/p>\n

Yes. If the expedition schedule allows, you can complete selected PADI courses or specialty certifications, such as Enriched Air (Nitrox)<\/strong> or Deep Diver<\/strong>. We’ll be happy to help you choose the option that best fits this itinerary.<\/p>\n
