Daedalus Reef

Located in the middle of the Red Sea, Daedalus Reef is a remote and breathtaking diving destination, famous for its unspoiled coral walls, strong currents, and high chance of shark encounters. This isolated marine park offers an underwater world full of thrilling drift dives, massive schools of pelagic fish, and pristine hard and soft corals.

The reef’s steep walls are covered with vibrant gorgonians, black corals, and dense soft coral gardens, creating an impressive vertical drop into the deep blue. Hammerhead sharks are frequently spotted here, especially in the early morning, along with grey reef sharks, oceanic whitetips and other shark species. Manta rays also became quite common sighting in recent years.

At the heart of the reef stands the Daedalus Lighthouse, a historic structure that has guided sailors for over a century. It offers a unique above-water experience for divers between dives.
