What the North Route feels like underwater
The North Route lives from the combination of wrecks, reefs, fish schools, wide visibility and the feeling of experiencing several remarkable Red Sea dive sites on one route.
Wreck experience in the north
The North Route combines history, structure and atmosphere underwater – especially at legendary wrecks such as the Thistlegorm.
Open water, blue water and depth
A liveaboard creates a special feeling: open sea, clear visibility and impressive dives away from normal daily dive operations.
Big fish as a special highlight
On selected south routes, encounters with oceanic whitetips, hammerheads and other pelagic species can be among the most impressive moments.
Atmosphere on board
A liveaboard is more than just diving. Life on board, the atmosphere within the group and the special moments between dives also make these trips so intense.
Welcome on board
The start of a liveaboard begins with anticipation, good organisation and the special feeling that several intense diving days in the Red Sea are ahead of you.
Evenings with real liveaboard atmosphere
After the last dive of the day, the Red Sea often shows its calmest and most beautiful side – with sunset, sea views and a relaxed atmosphere on deck.
Small groups, big experiences
Liveaboards live from good atmosphere, shared experiences and a well-coordinated team. This is exactly what makes time on board so special for many guests.
South Route Daedalus · Rocky Island · Zabargad – currently fully booked
Our marine park liveaboard to some of the most famous offshore reefs in the southern Red Sea is currently fully booked.

Liveaboard with Wolfgang Frühwirth
Daedalus · Rocky Island · Zabargad
From 28 November to 05 December 2026, this liveaboard takes us to the legendary offshore reefs of the southern Red Sea. Together with Wolfgang Frühwirth, we experience some of Egypt’s most spectacular dive sites. This south route is fully booked.
Daedalus Reef is one of the well-known offshore reefs in the Red Sea. Walls, large coral formations and the possibility of encounters with hammerheads, oceanic whitetips and large schools of fish make this reef especially interesting for experienced guests.
Rocky Island and Zabargad are located far away from the coast and offer impressive walls, caves, overhangs and extraordinary biodiversity. Their remote location often provides very good visibility and a special liveaboard atmosphere.
This route is suitable for guests who want to experience the more remote Red Sea: offshore reefs, blue-water dives, spectacular coral landscapes and the chance of big-fish encounters.

Colourful coral reefs
The reefs around Hurghada and along the liveaboard routes are known for their colour diversity and impressive biodiversity.
Turtles in the Red Sea
While diving, guests frequently encounter sea turtles gliding calmly above the coral reefs, making every dive even more special.
Fascinating marine life

Unique coral formations
Giant coral formations shape many dive sites in the Red Sea and create impressive underwater landscapes.
