Red Sea Liveabord - Daedalus & St Johns
Red Sea Liveabord - Daedalus & St Johns
The Egyptian Red Sea stands as one of the Seven Wonders of the Underwater World, showcasing an extraordinarily bountiful and diverse ecosystem. Within its depths, you’ll encounter a stunning array of life, including over 1,100 fish species, 1,000 invertebrate species, a kaleidoscope of over 200 soft and hard coral varieties, and the majestic presence of 44 distinct shark species.
This route allows you explore the beauty of the southern Red Sea with the added bonus of visiting the marine park of Daedalus, Elphinstone Reef and Rocky Island.
St. Johns is located on the Tropic of Cancer, this chain of reefs is the furthest South you will get, with a lot of variety to your dives: drop-offs, tunnels and stunning hard-coral formations. One of these dives (St John's Caves or Umm Kharalim) is truly unique with rays of light filtering through into the beautiful tunnels. Daedalus is a large, remote reef covered in hard and soft coral formations and offers beautiful scenic dives with an abundance of marine life. There are some smaller wrecks on this itinerary, but the main highlights are the pelagic life, big reefs and dramatic wall drop-offs.
Highlights and possible sightings (May):
- Elphinstone offers steep wall drops where Sharks often swim by to feed on the abundant fish populations.
- Daedalus Reef is famous for schooling Scaloop Hammerhead Sharks.
- St. John's is well known for coral gardens, tunnels and caves.
- Marine Life: Oceanic White Tips, Reef Sharks, Mantas, Barracuda, Turtles, Eagle Rays, Tuna, Giant Trevally, Dolphins, rare visits from Whale Sharks.
