The first dive in the Gotha el Sharm reef, a few miles from the entrance to the fjord, will be the first taste of this virgin sea where corals take on the appearance of majestic sculptures.

Navigating west you reach the vast area of the Seven Reefs characterised by semi surfacing coral reefs identifiable by the markers that indicate their presence. The area is full of dive sites such as Marker 32, Marker 34, Abu Galawa, Marker 39 and others, which will offer a great variety of scenarios, each with its own characteristics. The wide plains that protrude into the blue from the main reef will be the best sighting points for the flocks of large pelagics. Hammerhead sharks, Silvertips and silky sharks are the masters of these waters. It is not uncommon to encounter a lone tiger shark patrolling the area.
You will be fascinated by the richness of the walls where hard coral formations alternate with Sea fans and soft coral forests.

Navigating 8 miles further south, we come across an isolated Mansi pinnacle (or Marker 42), a large hard coral column that rises from the depths with walls covered with sea fans. From the blue with a little luck, you can spot the resident school of hammerheads that are live along the southern slope.

Continuing southwards we will come across the atoll of sha’ab Suflani (or Marker 44) with the walls falling vertically to over 300 meters deep. Here to schools of hammerheads and other pelagics can be sighted on the plateau facing south. The cruise will end with the dive on the wreck of the Louna, an old Turkish steamship sunk in 1914, a few miles outside the port of Yanbu.
