Daedalus Reef

Much like the Brothers Islands, Daedalus also sits in open water a good distance from the shore and has a manned lighthouse. However, the reef is much larger and because of its sheer size leaves divers with many options, depending on skill level and challenge desired.

With year-round viewings of hammerheads, Daedalus is a unique locale. While schooling hammerheads often appear from May to August, divers may also encounter oceanic whitetips, grey reef and thresher sharks. Tunas, trevallies and manta rays are seen here, too.

While sharks and pelagics are the main attraction for this area, Daedalus hosts an astounding array of visual experiences, too. Steep walls, covered with hard and soft corals, are stunningly beautiful and healthy. Many of the hard coral formations are massive creating dramatic scenes perfect for taking underwater photos or videos. Since the reef is situated in a marine park, it showcases some of the Red Sea’s healthiest corals. The vibrant colors, various textures and fascinating structures are world-class.

Highlights:

• Hammerheads – local year-round and schooling seasonally
• Pristine reef with immense hard coral formations
• A fully functioning lighthouse

Rocky Island

Of all the Egyptian dives in the deep southern Red Sea, Rocky Island is the most difficult. The island’s many sites range from a minor level of protection from the wind to none at all. The currents can be swift resulting in it being a pelagic hotspot. Whale sharks, manta rays and leopard sharks are known to quickly swim into focus in the turquoise blue waters. Divers will want to keep a watchful eye for new arrivals. Take time to soak in the wall itself; it is covered in reef creatures and fantastic soft corals.

Zabargad

Frequent pelagic sightings have earned this southern Egypt dive region a highlly favorable reputation. What pushes Zabargad over the top is the mysterious Russian shipwreck, graceful sea turtles and diverse bird species. The unique topography of pinnacles and sloping walls, decorated with colorful soft corals, surrounds this beautiful island.
