Day 1: Our friendly staff welcomes you at the airport. Bus transfer from the airport to the marina of Safaga. You will then be assigned a cabin and discover the boat.

Day 2: After breakfast, your guide will tell you everything you need to know about your programme of the week, safety recommendations and, more generally, your life on the boat. Your diving certifications, logbook and insurance will be checked before leaving the marina. The boat will then sail to the first dive site, 30 minutes away from the marina. Your guide will give you a detailed briefing about your first dive. The second dive will be done in the afternoon. After dinner, the boat will head towards the Brothers Islands for a six hour long trip. This programme may be subject to change according to weather conditions and the marina you will depart from.

Day 3: Having arrived the day before on site, you will do three daytime dives on the stunning drop-offs of the Brothers Islands. Due to new regulations aimed at protecting the marine ecosystem, safari boats are only allowed to spend one day on the Brothers' site. You will then sail all night long to reach Daedalus at the break of dawn.

Day 4: Arriving early in the morning, you will do three daytime dives on the amazing drop-off of Daedalus, home of the hammerhead shark. A visit to the lighthouse will be organised by the guide with the authorisation of the keepers.

Day 5: According to the weather forecast and customers' requests you will do two or three more dives on Daedalus before sailing towards the coast. It will take about seven hours to reach the site of Abu Dabbab where you will spend the night. According to your time of arrival, a night dive may be organised.

Day 6: According to the weather forecast, you will do two or three dives on the stunning drop-offs of Elphinstone. Then the boat will sail back to Abu Dabbab to spend the night in a protected area. If a night dive was not done the day before, it will be organised on this day.

Day 7: According to the weather forecast and your flight schedules, you will do one or two more dives in the morning. After the last dive, you will have the possibility to rinse all your diving gear on the diving deck at the rear of the boat before sailing for 2 hours to Safaga.

Day 8: Departure from the boat will be after breakfast or according to your flight and transfer schedules to the airport or hotel.
