St. John’s Reefs
St. John’s is the southernmost group of islands and reefs in Egypt’s Red Sea, and very close to the border with Sudan. The remote location means that no day-trip boats go there, and only a few liveaboards do. Therefore, not only are you likely to be the only boat at each dive site, shy species of marine life aren’t scared away by crowds of divers and boat noise. The sea conditions are excellent, with great visibility all year round and slightly warmer sea temperatures than further north.
