PLEASE NOTE:

ALL THE ABOVE ROUTES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE DEPENDING ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS WHICH INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

• The weather
• The time of the year (Length of daylight hours)
• The ability & experience levels of the divers
• Any special needs of the guests (training sites, specific depths etc)

It should also be made clear that on the southern routes divers will be a long way from the nearest medical recompression facility (up to 12 hours at the furthest points). In Egypt you cannot rely on any speedy air evacuation but must rely on the safari boat having returned to the nearest port for an evacuation by road.

In addition, the southern route does involve A LOT of travelling, with up to 12 hours at a time of overnight travelling times and up to six hours travelling in the daytime on occasions.
