A diving safari in Egypt: a week on a yacht in the Red Sea, diving its most famous reefs – the Brothers, Elphinstone and Daedalus. The trip suits divers who have just got their Open Water certificate as well as experienced divers: between dives you rest on a premium yacht, and a Divemen instructor travels with the group.
Where we dive
The Brothers
One of the best-known dive sites in Egypt. Steep reef walls covered in soft corals and gorgonians, with coral-covered wrecks nearby. Grey reef, hammerhead and thresher sharks, Napoleon wrasse, tuna and large schools of barracuda are often seen.
Elphinstone Reef
A reef about 180 m long with impressive walls. Currents bring dolphins, mantas, barracuda, giant trevally and oceanic whitetip sharks, and in season a whale shark is possible.
Daedalus Reef
A reef far offshore in open water: steep walls, very clear water, coral gardens and strong currents. Hammerheads, grey reef sharks and tuna are often seen.
Dive sites may change with the weather and the crew's decision.
The yacht My Anemone
You stay on the premium safari yacht My Anemone. Every cabin has its own toilet, shower and individually controlled air conditioning; some upper-deck cabins have panoramic windows, and the Master Suite has more space and the option of dinner in your cabin. After diving you can relax in the air-conditioned saloon, on two sun-lounger decks or in the jacuzzi. Three chefs cook, snacks, soft drinks and water are unlimited, and free WiFi works where there is signal.
