Daedalus+Rocky+Zabargad

The Daedalus Reef is a huge reef formation about 180 km southward of the Brother Island. The reef is surrounded by a sheer wall all around, featuring a plateau in its southern side that goes from 30 m beside the reef to 40 m on the edge of the drop off. If the weather is good, try to get far north as possible and drift along one of the sides of the reef. Reef and hammerhead sharks are often spotted here. UW life is here more abundant than anywhere else, with schools of surgeons, fusiliers, carangids....

Rocky Island is a mythical site that represents the diver`s dream. The fringing reef that circles the entire perimeter of the island drops steeply to an astonishing depth and the constant currents that flow all along the year favour the growth all different kinds of life in a continuous struggle for a place on the reef. The walls are absolutely covered with the most beautiful soft corals ever found, as well as gorgonians, fans, sponges and black coral trees. Because of its isolated situation and the reduced dimensions of the reef wall, everything seems to concentrate on the surroundings of this small islet. Reef sharks, especially grey and silvertips, you can watch in the blue and may be manta rays, sailfish and dolphins.

The Zabargad Island is superb dive spot. Here you can dive along walls, hover over drop offs or dive slowly in the shallow area, watching the fish and admire the coral garden. At the north side of Zabargad lays a nameless wreck. The 70m long ship lies upside in 24m depths. The whole stern section is nearly intact- stairs, rail, davit and bridge.
