About this itinerary

Possibly the Red Sea’s ultimate itinerary for shark spotting, the Brothers, Daedalus & Elphinstone route explores Egypt’s most remote and adrenaline-fuelled offshore reefs. Dive the legendary walls of the Brothers Islands and the dramatic drop-offs of Daedalus, where strong currents attract large a variety of pelagic species. The itinerary is complemented by dives at Elphinstone Reef, renowned for its steep walls and regular shark encounters. With frequent sightings of hammerhead sharks, oceanic whitetip sharks, and occasional thresher sharks, this liveaboard itinerary delivers some of the most exciting diving the Red Sea has to offer.
