What would you do?

[Crewboat]

You have two choices which would you choose? St Johns and the Deep South (or) Brothers/Daedalus/Elphinstone? Please let me know. This is the #1 place to go for dive info. Thanks Crewboat.

oops I messed up the second option should have read-daedalus-Zabargad-Rocky. sorry

Have not done Rocky/Zabargad.
But I would put Brothers ahead of Deep South AND Sudan.
Plus you may see the Oceanics on Elphinstone if lucky.

I'd go for Daedalous/Zabargad/Rocky, as you should get plenty of shark action and some great walls.

St John's and the Deep South reefs in that area are still nice, with plenty of coral growth, etc, but I find they don't have the pelagic action I crave.

The ideal trip is Brothers/Daedalous/Elphinstone if you can find it, but Rocky is a bit like Little Brother, so you'd still have a cracking trip if you go for the top option.

Ditto to what Mark said.

Meself, St Johns and Deep South...farsaway from the maddening crowds!

Anything that involves Brothers is the best option in Egypt inmo. You usually hear they are the same and it's all luck. To some degree I agree, but the Brothers have the more beatiful scenery and also two wrecks. However these days it gets too crowded from time to time.

looking like the "Hurricane" in May 2007

No question it would be Brothers Daedalus Elphinstone. Brothers never seems to disappoint (have dived it on 6 trips). Daedalus also can be very good, Elphinstone is class (albeit a bit busy sometimes - still, good chance of oceanics at the right time of year).


Rocky is not that great - have only dived it on one trip but I know plenty of people who no longer really rate it. Zabarghad is ok but not spectacular.

You generally see more sharks on Brothers/Elphinstone.
Corals and fish life are superb in both areas.
