This week we welcomed a group of divers from all over Spain, ready to experience the North route and the Brothers Islands. From the very first minute, the Brothers treated us to incredibly close encounters: thresher, hammerhead, and grey sharks appeared with an elegance that left us speechless.
The oceanic whitetips were the main stars. Their constant presence allowed us to enjoy endless safety stops and extend our dives up to 80 minutes, surrounded by up to four of them circling us, approaching with curiosity and respect. Our journey continued to the Salem Express, where we focused on the history and remains of that tragedy. Today, covered in colorful corals, it forms one of the most breathtaking and beautiful landscapes in the entire Red Sea.
And then came one of the most special moments of the week: an entire dive accompanied by a family of dolphins. Swimming alongside them as they observed us (playful and calm) made us feel like part of their own pod. The week continued with more surprises. At the SS Thistlegorm, the dolphins appeared underwater once again, surprising us as we dived, and later we experienced what has become a classic in our cruises: a sunset surrounded by dolphins while snorkeling, a simply perfect ending.
We ended the route in the Ras Mohammed National Park, with super relaxed dives, the kind where time seems to stand still. We are enjoying a movie-like end of the season, and the best part is seeing how every day people leave happier and more eager to return.
Tonight we set off once again on a new adventure, this time with a different plan: we’re heading to discover the chillest part of Sinai… Dahab, here we come.
