- Advanced itinerary
- Brilliant tek dives
Your week begins in Port Galeb - the gateway to the southern Red Sea. Get the check dive over and then you are straight off to the wall dives! It will be quite some time untill you see a reef bottom again on this itinerary. Elphinstone has become diving legend, with hammerheads and oceanic white tips to find. Sail off to the Brothers where you can combine your lust for shark diving with the incredible wrecks of the Numidia and Aida. Be prepared to be amazed as you hang over these 19th and 20th century wrecks, clinging to the reef wall. From the Brothers, you sail to the lavish Daedalus Reef. With its massive hard corals, schooling hammerheads and vast clownfish city, it is clear why Daedalus is so popular with dive guides and divers alike. The next stop on the itinerary is the twin delights of Rocky and Zabagad. Rocky is another steep wall - stay shallow for scenic overhangs or hang in the blue looking for sharks. After the excitement, Zabagad is a picturesque pinnacle dive where you will find turtles. Once the marine parks are over you head into St Johns and Fury Shoal. The tempo of the drift diving slows down but the stunning marine life continues apace before the boat makes the final journey back to harbour.
This is an advanced itinerary with an emphasis on remote locations, fast drift dives and high octane pelagic encounters. Divers should be comfortable with negative entries and SMB deploy. There are brilliant technical and recreational dives for everyone where ever you go on this itinerary and Royal Evolution is fully technically enabled for open circuit and closed circuit divers. The Red Sea is always a wonderful destination for photographers. There are wide angle opportunities aplenty but also varied and abundant macro life. Think you have seen the best of the Red Sea? Think again as you hit all the highlights in one wonderful adventure, playing with pelagics in endless viz.

Arrival
After arriving, you are taken to the boat where the first night aboard is spent. The next morning is the check dive and away you go!
Elphinstone
Elphinstone is the first of the big wall dives and always a good place to spot sharks.
The Brothers
Diving both Big and Little Brother you can really see the difference between the two reefs. The wonderful wrecks of the Numidia and Aida are at Big Brother. Little Brother is ideal for more sharks!
Daedalus
Dive the north of Daedalus to look for hammerheads. Come down the walls to see the huge and impressive hard corals. The south plateau is where to look for grey reef sharks and lots of baracuda.
Rocky and Zabagad
Rocky is the furthest south of the Marine Parks and the prefect place to look for yet more sharks! Zabagad is a scenic dive and turtle heaven.
St John
Dive the gorgeous reef systems of St Johns and Fury Shoal. The lovely Shaab Claude and Maksur are hot spots - the hard corals here are the stars of the show.
