Nord_Brothers JPMarine itinerary wrecks and dolphins

Picture yourself hovering in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea, where the legendary Daedalus Reef rises from the depths. As dawn breaks over the horizon, you’re about to witness one of nature’s most spectacular performances – the graceful dance of hammerhead sharks.

Red Sea Hammerhead Season: Prime Time for Encounters

One of the Red Sea’s most remarkable features is its consistency. While other destinations worldwide are bound by strict seasonal windows, Daedalus Reef offers exceptional diving conditions throughout the year.

Unlike many shark destinations worldwide that depend on seasonal visits, Daedalus holds a precious secret: here, the show runs year-round. The hammerheads have made these waters their permanent stage, drawing audiences from across the globe to witness their graceful performance.

The Digital Detox Adventure

“Leave your worries – and your WiFi – at the shore,” we often tell our guests. As our liveaboard ventures into the blue from Monday lunchtime to Thursday evening, we enter a realm where Instagram notifications give way to real-life wonder. This digital detox becomes part of the adventure, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the magic of Daedalus.

The Art of the Encounter

Every encounter tells a story. Whether you’re witnessing a lone hammerhead’s curious approach or a squadron of fifty gliding in formation, each moment is unique. Our experienced guides, know exactly how to position you for the perfect encounter while maintaining the respect these magnificent creatures deserve.

Water temperatures ranging from 22-28°C create comfortable conditions year-round, with peak comfort during August to November when the waters warm to 27-28°C. But don’t let the calendar dictate your visit – the hammerheads don’t.

For those ready to join this underwater ballet, the requirements are clear: • Advanced Open Water certification • Comfort with depths up to 40m • A respect for the reef’s no-gloves, no-knives policy • A spirit of adventure
