M.Y. Juliet departs from Sharm el Sheikh (Red Sea / Egypt) weekly throughout the year.  Her exciting dive itinerary has plenty of variety. It includes the very best coral reefs and islands between the Tiran and Gubal Straits including Ras Mohamed. Although wreck dives are weather dependent, she usually covers Sha'b Abu Nuhas, famous for wrecks including the Giannis D cargo vessel and the Carnatic, a 100-year old wine wreck. Sharm’s latest wreck discovery, the Rosalie Moller, is also included plus the S.S. Thistlegorm in Sha'b Ali. Dives can be made from her tender, ensuring plenty of drift diving.
