Plongée à St. John's Reef — Egypt
St. John's Reef marks the southernmost point most Red Sea liveaboards reach, and the effort pays off with some of Egypt's most pristine coral and biggest sharks. The Habili reef system delivers hammerhead sightings at dawn, while the cave at Gota Kebir is a photographer's dream. Water clarity here can exceed 40 meters on good days.
