Southern Red Sea Trip - 5th Sept 08 - 1 week

[Phil Mauer]

A friend and I are organising a Southern Red Sea trip on the above dates. We have agreed an itinerary with a major operator which comprises the following which of course is always subject to weather.

In no particular order:-

• 2 x nights/days at The Brothers diving Big and Little Brother. There is a real strong possibility of seeing sharks at the cleaning point of Little Brother, however there are strong currents here so experience will be required to dive in these conditions. There are also two wrecks to dive on the Brothers Aida and the Numidia.

• 2 x nights/days at Daedulus reef, again a strong possibility of seeing sharks including hammerheads.

• 1 x day at Elphinstone.

• A dive on the wreck of the Salem Express.

• Plus several other reef dives – resulting in potentially 18 dives in these Marine Parks/trip. Night dives are restricted as they are not allowed at the Brothers, Daedulus or Elphinstone but we may do a couple subject to locations at night.

Cost is £850.00 per person including Nitrox for those who are qualified but excluding Marine Park fees and Egyptian Visa costs. Price also includes all food, flights, dive guides, weights, soft drinks, tea and coffee and air, but not the last night in the Marriott hotel should you wish to stay there.

Flights will be from Gatwick on Excel (30kgs weight allowance subject to final approval). The operator will provide transport to and from Gatwick “FREE OF CHARGE” from/to Chesterfield, Derbyshire only.

This is a great opportunity to dive a “Simply the Best” tour again on a luxury live-aboard from a major operator. The boat agreed with the operator is a luxury liveaboard. Many of us have been on this boat this February and the boat and crew were excellent. To reserve your place please pm me and I will give your further details. A deposit of £250.00 is required to reserve your place. The boat can take up to 26 divers.

If you have any queries or require a little more information please pm me.

Thanks

Phil
