Day 1: Transfer to New Marina (El Wataneya) port and embark from 18:00 onwards. Welcome on board, cabin arrangement and boat briefing. Permission work with the port authority, sailing very early the next morning.
  
Day 2: Early morning check dive at Temple or Ras Katy. Next dive is Jackfish Alley where you can easily enter the small caves. The third dive will be at Shark and Yolanda Reef, the southernmost tip of the Sinai Peninsula with an endless wall - unique in the Red Sea. If you like night diving then Temple will be a great location to jump in.

Day 3: In the morning, the boat sails into the Strait of Tiran. Your first dive will take you to Jackson Reef, the most northern spot in the Strait of Tiran. After breakfast get ready to visit Woodhouse Reef, which is perfect for a drift dive along the sheltered eastern side. Your third dive of the day will be at North or South Lagoon, depending on sea conditions,  and an optional night dive at the South Lagoon.
   
Day 4: First dive of the day is usually at Thomas Reef, the smallest of the four Tiran reefs but probably the most interesting and richest in marine life. Next dive is Gordon Reef, which gently slopes to the south and forms a large plateau. After lunch you will leave the reefs of Tiran heading towards Sharm for your third dive at Ras Nasrani, Ras Ghamila or maybe Ras Um Sid - your choice. Return to New Marina (El Wataneya) port and disembark at 16:00 latest.
