For many divers, the Red Sea is the trip that marks a before and after: warm water all year round, coral walls that drop vertically out of sight, and some of the world's best-known WWII wrecks, with dolphins and reef fish in abundance throughout the trip.

The trip is organised aboard the Sea Serpent Contessa (Northern route), departing from and returning to Hurghada: after arrival and transfer to the boat on day one, there are 6 full days of cruising with daily guided dives at the area's best spots. Once the cruise ends, there's one night at a 4-star hotel in Hurghada before the flight home.

We travel together with Buceo Estela instructors at all times, so the group gets the same close attention and focus on safety as in Águilas — now among coral reefs and historic wrecks.
