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.

What does a week on Deep South · St John's look like?

Up to four dives a day, with time to eat, rest and log in between.

  1. Day 1

    Board and settle in

    Find your cabin, meet the crew and get the boat and safety briefing over dinner.

  2. Day 2

    Check dive, then Fury Shoal

    Fury Shoal's maze of reefs — sites such as Abu Galawa Soraya and Shaab Claudio, known for swim-throughs and caverns.

  3. Day 3

    Sataya and the southern reefs

    The horseshoe reef of Sataya, where spinner dolphins are sometimes seen at the surface — we never chase them — and the pinnacles of Shaab Malahi.

  4. Day 4

    St John's

    The first of two days among the St John's reefs: Habili Ali, Gota Kebir and the reef's caverns, with light falling through gaps overhead.

  5. Day 5

    St John's, day two

    More of the far-south reefs, such as Um Arouk and Habili Gaffar, as the captain picks the best sites for the day.

  6. Day 6

    Heading back north

    Fury Shoal again on the way home — often a chance at the sites the wind ruled out on the way down.

  7. Day 7

    Last dives and port

    Final dives, then rinse, pack and a farewell dinner on board.

  8. Day 8

    Disembark

    Breakfast and goodbyes.

This is a typical week, not a fixed timetable. The captain sets each day's route by weather, sea state and park permits, and the last dive is at least 24 hours before your flight home.

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?

We choose calmer routes where we can. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about a seasickness remedy suitable for you before travelling.

Which dive sites does this trip visit?

The captain picks the final sites each day by weather, sea state and permits.
