An extended version of the "Simply the Best" liveaboard itinerary?

[Hintermann]

With so many variations of liveaboard itineraries in the Red Sea, I am wondering if there is a longer (9 or 10 days) version of the popular "Simply the Best"? I am looking for one that covers all the sites in Elphinstone, Daedalus and both Brothers in the StB trip plus a few additional ones north or south. But it has not be in the Egyptian Red Sea only, not Sudan.

The trips are all seven days as far as I know..you could do back to back trips.

You could combine Brothers and Deep South in two consecutive trips. Both are leaving from Port Ghalieb.

The problem is that I can squeeze in 10 days bit not 2 weeks in July 2015, which is when I am considering this. One option I considered is doing a week of "Simply The Best" on an Emperor Fleet Liveaboard in July - they invariably have one such itinerary from Hurghada in that month - and then taking a taxi to nearby El Gouna resort and doing 3 more days of diving there. But I have never done land based diving in the Red Sea and am worried about overcrowded "Family" resorts with lots of overenthusiastic newbie divers.

I was thinking the same thing about their Deep South / Sudan trip which is 14 days! That is a long time to be on a boat and I was wondering if you get to be in a diving environment which is remarkably superior to what their 7 day trip offers? Can anyone shed light on that as well?
