Some of them have been part of the Royal Evolution team for many years. The crew is also highly experienced, providing guests with an all-around perfect service.

And now for some special information:

The Royal Evolution has launched a new route...

Dive Safari - Deep South Egypt + Elba Reef
The Elba Reef is a triangular reef in the northern part of Sudan, at the border with Egypt. It is part of three reefs collectively referred to as the Elba region. It has a long north plateau, starting at about 20 meters deep and dropping to about 45 meters at its northern tip. Many huge coral fans are located along the edge of the plateau. It's not uncommon to spot large pelagic fish like gray reef sharks and even hammerhead sharks here. The best diving conditions prevail in the mild north current, allowing you to start your dive from the back of our boat. If mooring is not possible due to weather conditions, a dive from the dinghy is an option. The eastern wall of the reef has many cracks, overhangs, and bays full of soft corals. The southern plateau is slightly shorter, with some giant pinnacles. It also starts at about 20 meters deep and drops to 45 meters. The east and west sides steeply drop to over 100 meters. In the shallow part of the reef, there is a beautiful cave system starting at the eastern edge from about 8 meters deep. The best diving conditions on the southern plateau are during a south current.

So, if you're up for a new and extraordinary route in the Red Sea, don't miss out on this dive safari. The new and truly exclusive dive safari to the Elba Reef is conducted throughout the year.
