The Southern Red Sea
Why dive here
With 52+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, spinner dolphins and whale sharks - The Southern Red Sea offers some of Deep South's richest diving. Water ranges 22-31°C, warmest July, August, September.
If you’ve spent a bit of time finning around the northern Red Sea, and you're looking for something more, heading south is a solid bet. We’re talking about places like The Brothers, Daedalus, and St. John's. These deep south sites really deliver on the pelagic action, with oceanic whitetips often cruising by, especially around the exposed reefs. You'll find incredible coral structures, too, usually holding huge schools of fusiliers and snapper that just envelop you. It’s definitely a step up for experienced divers keen to get away from the crowds and into some serious open-ocean encounters.
