If you've dreamed of diving the Red Sea, this summer is the perfect time to plan a trip! There are just a few spaces left on our Red Sea Field Survey Trip happening on July 6-16, 2023. This ten-day liveaboard trip offers the chance to explore the shipwrecks, reefs, and pinnacles of the Egyptian Red Sea. REEF Trips are a great way to meet fellow marine life lovers and learn more about the fish you see on your dives. Trips are open to all surveyor experience levels, from beginner to expert! Here are even more reasons to sign up today:
Endemic Species: The Red Sea is home to many species that you cannot see anywhere else in the world, including the Broomtail Wrasse, Red Sea Anemonefish, Red Sea Soapfish, and even the Red Sea Flasher Wrasse! If you are a fish surveyor, you'll love the diversity and the chance to add so many species to your life list.
Shipwrecks: We'll dive some of the most famous (and fishiest) wrecks in the northern Red Sea, including the SS Thistlegorm, a freighter that was carrying military equipment during the 1940s when it was sunk off the coast of Egypt. The cargo included everything from boots, rifles, trucks and motorcycles. Divers can explore these large cargo holds and see an amazing piece of history amongst schools of squirrelfish and fusiliers.
Stunning Underwater Scenery: We'll visit a variety of sites throughout the trip, including pinnacles covered with soft coral and colorful schools of anthias. The pinnacles offer the chance to see pelagic species like jacks and tuna, and since many of the sites reach very close to the water's surface, they are perfect spots to conduct fish surveys!
Seeing Rare Marine Life: The Red Sea is one of the few places in the world that divers have the opportunity to see Oceanic Whitetip Sharks. Normally an open ocean species, they can be seen near the surface with schools of Pilotfish at Brothers Islands, Elphinstone, and Daedalus reefs.
