Itinerary
Visit the most well-known places of the Red Sea with Emperor Elite. The St. Johns reef has the most terrific views of coral walls, both soft and hard coral formations. The divers can swim through caves which is excellent for a photographic opportunity. Some sites attract thresher sharks, grey hammerhead sharks, and other predator fish. Diver’s main attractions are Thislegorm and Rosalie Moeller where sunken ships still carry motorcycles, tanks and other stuff on board.
The Red Sea exploration and diving is possible all year round. We recommend guests to visit during the autumn season for it is the best time to visit the Red Sea. Summer months can reach the temperature of 40C and winter is rather cold, but it is also a good time for diving. Whatever season you decide to visit will surely make your holiday worthwhile. The Emperor Elite and its crew members are always open to serve and make everyone comfortable during their safari.
