St John’s - Abu Fendira - Elba

Secrets of the South

This itinerary is designed for experienced divers eager to explore the most remote and unspoiled areas of Egypt’s southern Red Sea. It combines three distinct diving zones, each with its own atmosphere and character.

St John’s: a vast coral archipelago known for its diversity and sites such as Habili Ali and Gota Kebira. These reefs host grey reef sharks, rays, jacks, and vibrant coral formations in clear, calm waters.

Abu Fendira: a coastal area of fringing reefs and shallow plateaus, ideal for relaxed diving. Encounters with turtles, eagle rays, and napoleon wrasses are common, with easy access and good visibility.

Elba Islands: a remote archipelago featuring steep drop-offs and colorful coral gardens. Sites like Shaab Sharm and Paradise Reef occasionally attract large pelagics and oceanic sharks, depending on currents and season.

A one-week expedition for seasoned divers seeking quiet, variety, and pristine marine environments in the far south of the Red Sea.
