Why do divers choose Daedalus Reef - Rocky Island - Zabargad? It is simply absolutely world class diving for the experienced diver.

 

The highlights are hard to mention as there are so many, amazing walls and reefs covered by unspoiled hard and soft corals, beautiful coral gardens, caverns, wrecks and of course the pelagic species.

 

Hammerheads, Grey Reef, White Tip Reef, Thresher, Oceanic White Tip even Whale sharks are all possible! Dolphins, Turtles, Manta Rays the list goes on!

Daedalus reef is a huge reef around 160km south-east of Port Ghalib in a National Park. All side of Daedalus are deep plunging walls with an incredible variety of corals and marine life. To the southern end is a small plateau which is often a hive of activity. The highlight of Daedalus is the chance to swim with a school of Hammerhead sharks that call the northern head their home.

 

Rocky Island is located another 250km south of Daedalus reef. This protected but small island is a cauldron of unexpected surprises. Its location off south of the Banas peninsula gives rise to quasi-permanent currents that attract a multitude of visitors.

 

Zabargad Island just 3km north of Rocky Island is Utopia, offering everything you could wish for in abundance. Mooring is on the south side of the island, outside the large blue lagoon formed by miles of unbroken spectacular barrier reef that is perforated with a maze of caverns.
