We are offering a unique dive holiday liveaboard with Tony Backhurst Holidays.
Departing from Sharm el Sheikh this itinerary takes you to some of the most notorious wrecks that the Red Sea has to offer, along with some world famous reefs and Marine parks this itinerary really is the best of both worlds with a huge amount of variety. The Sinai Peninsular is an incredibly mountainous region which often seems mirrored underwater with monumental drop off's, vertical walls and canyons.
The area around the Sinai is a major shipping channel and gateway from Europe to Africa. Throughout the years the combination of hundreds of reefs and boats (often driving at night with no GPS) has resulted in a number of shipping accidents, thus creating a tremendous amount of divable wrecks.
The Itinerary is fairly varied and will cover a number of wrecks and reefs - weather plays a large factor in what gets visited when, however the following sites are covered: WRECKS - The wrecks at Abu Nuhas; Ghiannis D, Carnatic, Chrisoula K, Marcus. The Thistlegorm, Dunraven, Ulysses, The Barge, Rosie Moller (experience required) REEFS- Straits of Tiran; Jackson, Woodhouse, Thomas and Gordon. Ras Mohammed, Ras Um Sid, Shag Rock and Ras Katty.
This itinerary is suitable for all levels - beginners and experienced alike. Dives, flights, transfers, food and soft drinks are all inclusive.
You will be living on 'Typhoon', at 33 metres she can accommodate 20 divers comfortably in en-suite cabins. All the usual hallmarks of the fleet are here, teak decks throughout, including full air conditioning and stylish restaurant and bar.
Technically she is also an awesome little ship, her twin 700hp engines make for fast and comfortable passage, and she is fully equipped with 2 x 70KW generators, desalination plant and the latest Iridium Satellite communications system.
The spacious dive deck allows ample space for kitting up, and two RIBS to ferry the divers to the dive sites.
All divers are welcome from Open water upwards. We can also run advanced courses etc while we are there.
