Deep South & St John's — the Red Sea's far reefs
Deep South takes you seven nights into Egypt's far south, to the Fury Shoal and St John's reefs — some of the healthiest hard coral in the Red Sea, with pinnacles, swim-throughs and sunlit caverns. It's an intermediate route that suits divers with some experience. Up to four dives a day and full board in a twin or double ensuite cabin, from €1,290 per person.

Deep South · St John's — the questions we get most
What's the deposit and cancellation policy?
A 20% deposit reserves your cabin, and the balance is due 60 days before departure. You can change your dates for free up to 60 days out — message us about anything closer to departure.
What if the weather changes the route?
The captain has the final say every day. If wind, swell or a park permit rules a site out, we move to the best alternative nearby — safety and good diving first, the printed plan second.
Can I rent equipment or dive on Nitrox?
Yes — equipment rental and Nitrox (for certified divers, blended on board) are add-ons. Tell us what you need when you book so it's ready on the boat.
What if I get seasick?
Our boats run stabilisers and we choose calmer routes where we can. Bring the remedy that works for you — the crew carries basic medication, but it's no substitute for your own.
