Which Red Sea live aboard itinerary?

I have been on 3 Red Sea liveaboard cruises but not on the Aggressor. The choce of itinerary depends on the experience and skill of divers going with you.

- If there are relatively inexperienced divers among you, then the Northern Wrecks & Reefs itinerary is the most suitable IMP. It gives a good choice of wrecks & reefs and is a nice introduction the Red Sea diving. You get plenty of boat choices.

- If you want to see a lot of pelagics, the itinerary they call Simply The Best is ideal in summer months. This covers Elphinstone, both Brothers and Daedalus. Numidia is one of the top wreck dives in the world. But diving here is more physical and needs experience.

- IMO the itinerary covering the southern part of Egyptian Red Sea - St John's, Rocky, Zabargad and the Fury Shoals - is good without being spectacular in any way.

I did the reef route with Aggressor last May and I loved it. What I was told is that specifically for sharks the best time of the year is October. With this said we saw hammerheads and mantas during our trip (but no longimanus.) I did a write up of my Aggressor trip, I was very satisfied at the time, and they obviously are much more experienced by now.

The Southern route looks very nice too and seems to be getting more dolphins (based on Facebook posts, so take that with a grain of salt). Also, the pseudo caves offer amazing picture opportunities if that's important to you.
