Deep South (St. John's Safari)
Deep,
deep in the south (in the near of Rocky Island) are the St. John's
Reefs. You will find here exciting drop offs. The wall of one of
the reefs is overgrown with big gorgonias, the wall of the other
reef is overgrown with all kinds of colorful soft corals. You will
find here a lot of fish and in the blue you can see with a little
bit luck "big fish" like Hammerhead, Grey sharks, Silvertip
and White Tip Reef Sharks and Barracudas, Tunas and Mackerels. Sometimes
even you can see Mantas and dolphins.
It is possible to reach St. John's in one week, but you are going
to sail a lot (mostly in the night) and the time is very short to
dive at all the reefs in St. John's. Because of the long distance,
some groups decide to do a 10 or 13 days safari-cruise in combination
with Abu Fendera.
Note: ABU FENDERA on request.
Abu Fendera: The main reef is around 6 km long and full with hard
coral. In front of this reef, you can see some parts like a small
reef or ergs which are 400 – 800 meters. You can go diving between
the reefs. So, you can plan and make a lot of different dives there.
In front of the reefs you will see a lot of ergs and there are the
most beautiful soft corals. Also, you can see here a lot of fishes.
