When you combine a dive adventure to the legendary Red Sea aboard the brand-new luxury yacht, Red Sea Aggressor V, with a Nile River II excursion to see Egypt’s historical sites, you will create an unforgettable vacation.
Red Sea Aggressor V Itinerary
In a word, the Red Sea Aggressor V is magnificent, which seems appropriate for a dive destination that ticks off many of the boxes on a diver’s wish list: thriving coral reefs and pinnacles, sharks every which way and pristine sites where you will be among very few divers lucky enough to explore them.
The 131-foot steel yacht is built and powered for comfort, safety and stability, and it was designed to bring divers to the best sites on its Deep South itineraries. On the Zabargad and Rocky Islands itinerary, you’ll venture to the largest marine park in the southern Red Sea, home to thrilling walls, the fish-filled Khanka wreck, and oceanic whitetips, grey reef sharks, hammerheads, silvertips and manta rays. The sheer vertical walls of the Rocky Islands are also jam-packed with fish and the chance to see multiple species of sharks.
The Elba Reef itinerary includes two stops at Abu Fendira, a nearly four-mile reef tract that no other liveaboards currently visit. Sharks cruise here and you have a good chance of seeing rare humphead parrotfish. Other sites feature pinnacles, a cave system and the Levanzo wreck, which is covered in beautiful corals, including black.
