There's so much to explore and experience in the Egyptian Red Sea! From intriguing reef formation and corals and historical wrecks to hundreds of animal species, some can only be seen in this area. The Red Sea Aggressor I takes you to all of the hot spots on an 5 star liveaboard yacht, specialized for amazing SCUBA diving trips.
The Red Sea is a narrow body of water, between Africa and Asia. In the south it opens up into the Indian ocean and in the north it connects to the Mediterranean by way of the Suez canal. Sunny climate, currents and water clarity make a healthy and diverse underwater ecosystem, which supports many types of hard and soft coral and over 1000 species of marine creatures, 20% of which can only be seen here.
On this Red Sea Aggressor I itinerary you will get the chance to SCUBA dive in a variety of dive sites, with an array of life forms and interesting sights. The Brothers are 2 pinnacle islands, in the middle of the Red Sea that have walls that plunge hundreds of feet deep, covered with hard and soft corals. Currents and open ocean make them a very good place to see pelagic sharks. Daedalus is a large reef with many coral gardens and tropical fish, that gets frequent visits by many pelagic species, like manta rays, Thresher sharks, Whale sharks and turtles. Elphinstone is a famous flat reef that ends with an impressive wall, full of coral and life.
