SHARK ECOLOGY
A study of human impacts on the presence of sharks and the behavior of sharks was carried out from June to November 2008 at these Red Sea diving sites: Elphinstone Reef, Daedalus Reef, Big Brother Island, Small Brother Island, Zabargad Is., Rocky Is., and Habili Ali. A total of 194 hours of field observations were done; sharks were encountered during 110 of 138 dives.
The main outputs were eight species of sharks for a total of 292 specimens recorded. The presence of recreational divers was recorded during almost all the dives: 134 cases on a total of 138 dives, with a presence of a total of 971 boats and 15,601 divers.

OUR ITINERARIES
A selection of best routes of southern Red Sea Egypt
South & St. Johns
St Johns is a vast collection of small reefs offering some of the most remote and rewarding diving in the Red Sea. The reef covers a huge area and many dives would be needed to explore the numerous coral heads and islands.
Simply the Best
Best Top 3 sites in the southern Red Sea: Big and Little Brothers, Daedalus Reef, and Elphinstone. Occasional hammerheads, silky and oceanic white tips, dolphins, and mantas. A rare chance to spot threshers.
Daedalus, Fury & Elphinstone
Mountainous Daedalus with pristine, hard coral formations and a strong chance of spotting schooling hammerheads and grey reef sharks. Fury Shoals, a vast reef system to explore such as Sataya’s resident spinner dolphins.
EMPEROR ELITE
