Red Sea, Egypt

Where We're Diving

Jacques Cousteau once said ” The Red Sea is a corridor of marvels- the happiest hours of my diving experience have been spent there.” That statement is as true today as it was when Jacques Cousteau explored here in the 1950’s and 60’s. Divers spend many happy hours diving the Egyptian Red Sea, and one could spend a lifetime here and never see it all.
The Brother Islands are the pinnacles of two undersea mountains rising from the depths of the abyss and are located about 60 miles offshore. Part of the Marine Park Islands National Park, these islands offer stunning wall diving, covered in soft corals and forests of of gorgonians, creating a kaleidoscope of ever-changing colors.

Daedalus Reef, also part of the Marine Park, is a large oval reef with a lighthouse and is the furtherest offshore reef in the Red Sea. Its deep walls and drop-offs offer some of the most spectacular diving with mountainous, pristine hard coral formations. There is also a strong chance of spotting schooling hammerheads and grey reef sharks. These are just a few of the areas that we will visit in our week aboard the MV Emperor Elite!
