ITINERARY
Red Sea is one of the most famous dive locations in the world and a great place to see lots of different sharks. Our itinerary is focussed on getting the best big animal action including Oceanic White Tip Sharks - the Red Sea is the only place in the world where you can dive with these apex predators.
Conveniently located close to Europe this is a must dive destination. And there is always the option to visit the pyramids as well.

THE DIVING
This full charter will cover the offshore highlights of the Red Sea - Brothers Islands, Elphinstone and Daedalus. These are the sharkiest sites where you can expect reef sharks, oceanic white tip sharps, hammerheads and even thresher sharks. We will be diving up to four times a day from early morning to late afternoon, night dives will only be possible when we are close to the mainland.
THE BOAT
Traveling in style on the Blue Horizon, one of the best live aboards of the Red Sea, we will be enjoying our topside time as much as our diving. We have used this vessel a few times, including our legendary Girls That Scuba coop trip in 2018. The boat has since received a full facelift.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
FREJA
I went with Insider Divers on a coordinated trip with Girls that Scuba for a week long live aboard in Southern Egypt, Red Sea. This was my fourth live aboard and definitely ranked high in comparison. The energy and set by the organisers lifted the whole group and built a great sense of community. The trip was planned and organised really well from start to finish. Safety regulations were clear and all diving was kept within limits, making the experience fun and professional, and, of course, safe. I would definitely recommend Insider Divers to a friend and I hope to join them on another trip soon.
MEL
Great experience with Insider Divers last week on a trip in Egypt. All communications were clear prior to the trip. Everything was well organized. Simon was a helpful guide with a passion for diving and photography and offered to help everyone learn how to improve in both those aspects. I had a great time and would definitely join them on another trip in the future.
TARA
I joined Insider Divers & Girls That Scuba for my first live aboard in the Southern Red Sea, Egypt -- and its was epic! The trip was very well organized - the dive plans, the Cairo extension, all the way down to buddy pairing. Simon created a comfortable environment for you to ask questions, learn & become a better diver. Both coordinators and the boat dive master gave educational briefings - enhancing the experience of every dive. This trip included a lot of firsts for me- first zodiac entry, first negative entry, deep dive cert, and first up close encounter with large sharks - and all was done in a very professional, supportive way. I would definitely recommend Insider Divers to a friend and hope to join them on a future trip!
