Night dives on Daedalus are not available for safety reasons.

Elfinstone, a star dive site north of Marsa Alam, is a must-visit. The reef offers an abundance of attractions with unpredictable currents. From the north to the south, you’ll encounter big marine life in the blue waters at various depths. The north features two plateaus, perfect for spotting sharks and even hammerheads in the early morning. The southern plateau descends slowly to 40 meters before a dramatic drop-off.

Fury Shoal – Sataya, located in the “middle” south of the Red Sea, offers renowned dive sites like Maksur, Claudia, Malahy, and Abu Galawa. Don’t miss the chance to visit Dolphin House, a big lagoon with a sandy bottom where dolphins are spotted by mornings.

Please note that scuba diving is forbidden in Dolphin House, but snorkeling is allowed. The visibility is excellent, allowing you to observe dolphins as they surface.

This rich and diverse itinerary is recommended for experienced divers.
