Places You'll Visit

Jackson Reef

Jackson Reef is the northernmost of the four reefs in the Strait of Tiran, off Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Its northern edge holds the wreck of the Cypriot freighter Lara, which ran aground in the early 1980s; sections remain visible above water. The reef's drop-offs are known for sightings of whitetip, grey reef, and scalloped hammerhead sharks.

Gordon Reef

Gordon Reef is the southernmost reef in the Strait of Tiran, near Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, with a roughly 900-meter-long shallow plateau whose top sits barely half a meter below the surface before dropping off to depths of 25 to 50 meters. Its northern edge holds the wreck of the freighter Loullia, which ran aground in 1981.

Thomas Reef

Thomas Reef is one of four reef systems in the Straits of Tiran, at the mouth of the Gulf of Aqaba off Sharm el-Sheikh. The smallest of the four, it is known for the 'Three Thomas Arches,' coral-covered formations beginning around 35 meters depth, and for strong currents that make it a dive reserved for experienced divers.

We went on the submarine trip, 5 adults and one child. We loved the organization, from the online manager who answers every question, right through to being dropped back at the hotel. At the scheduled time they picked us up from the hotel in an air-conditioned transfer, took us smoothly to the Marina port, a Russian-speaking guide met us, gave us the intro info about the excursion and the return transfer, and walked us to the submarine itself. There the ship's crew took over. We sailed on the upper deck for about 20 minutes, then went down into the hold to see the beauty of the underwater world. After that there was a snorkeling stop, we had our own masks, but the organizers could also provide masks if you didn't have your own. They also give out life vests. It was windy with waves, but the vests made it more comfortable. After snorkeling we went back to the port, then they took us back to the hotel. Drinks weren't included in the excursion, and we knew that going in. But there was a nice bonus — they served Pepsi on the boat. Overall, we loved everything. It's a quick and easy way to get a taste of the Red Sea's underwater world. Great value for money 👍

We booked 2 excursions through TUT VOYAGES (the Grand Aquarium and a private yacht trip with an island and snorkeling), everything went great. They reply fast and always give clear answers to every question.
