Each note covers corridor, depth habit, who it fits, and what the briefing will insist on. Conditions still win on the day.
Depth ranges are recreational planning bands, not guarantees. - Who it fits - assumes honest logbooks. If your last dive was three years ago, say so - we will rebuild the week around that truth instead of pretending currency.
Park rules, wreck etiquette, and wildlife distance are non-negotiable on Kass A days. If a site needs a liveaboard, we will not invent a day-boat shortcut to close a sale.
Classic wall with a current that teaches humility. Anemone cities on the plateau; wreck debris used as navigation practice. Best when the skipper times the drift - not when the group insists on a fixed photo stop in moving water.
1941 freighter on Sha - ab Ali. Motorcycles and trucks still stop conversations mid-sentence. Penetration is a privilege: briefed team, silt discipline, redundant lights, and a guide who already knows which hold you will not enter that day.
Hard coral shelves and current lanes. When the strait runs, this is a drift with purpose; when it rests, it becomes a slow look at anthias weather. Buoyancy mistakes show up as reef scars - we brief mid-water habits hard.
Seagrass flats and turtle traffic. Gentler profiles for newer divers - still a place where fins stay off the bed. Distance rules apply even when a turtle is - almost posing.
Wall diving with a reputation. Current can rewrite the plan mid-dive. We brief exits before we praise soft coral - and we cancel when the day is ego, not ocean.
Seamounts in open blue. Pelagics when season and luck align - or long empty blue that still teaches. Liveaboard seat required. Beginners do not belong on this week.
Send dive count, last splash, and dates. We will map a week that matches the logbook.
| Site | Best for | Avoid if | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ras Mohammed | Drift practice, park walls | You fight current on principle | Day boat |
| Thistlegorm | Wreck curiosity with discipline | No wreck brief / poor buoyancy | Day boat block |
| Jackson / Tiran | Current-aware divers | First ocean week ever | Day boat |
| Abu Dabbab | Newer divers, turtle days | You need big pelagic drama | Day boat |
| Elphinstone | Wall experience | You need flat, simple profiles | Day / liveaboard |
| Brothers | Offshore weeks | Under 50 dives / no liveaboard time | Liveaboard only |
