Join us on a shark spotting extravaganza !

'Project Shark' - Simply the Best

29th Oct - 5th Nov 2010


Aboard M/Y blue Melody

The season and location for this itinerary have been specifically chosen to maximise the possibility of observing sharks in the Red Sea.

This trip will be accompanied by our very own  resident Shark Expert - Dan Struthers.

Throughout the week, Blue O Two's expert dive guides will conduct seminars giving divers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the biology and behavior of sharks within the Red Sea. There will also be a chance to learn about globally endangered marine species and what we as divers can do to aid their protection.

A 400 metre long island offering fabulous wreck diving and wall diving. The wreck of the Numidia lies on the northern tip between 10 and 80 metres.

Little Brother

Boasts a very high concentration of life within a very small area. Fan coral forests, overhangs, hard and soft corals in a variety of astonishing colours… and of course there are plenty of fish! With regular sightings of hammerheads, thresher sharks, grey sharks and white tip reef sharks, at the right time of year. Click here to view a video of Little Brother Dive Site

Daedalus

About 180 km south of The Brother Islands, this huge reef is surrounded by a sheer wall and strong currents allowing for fantastic drift diving. The hard corals grow to huge sizes but make sure you also keep an eye on the blue! Click here to view a video of Daedalus Reef

A Red Sea legend. One of the most beautiful reefs, with its north and south plateau's covered in hard and soft corals, this truly is an awesome reef. Click here to view a video of Elphinstone reef
