Choose Your Safari Format.
Aphrodite adapts entirely to your group. Select your format below to see what a week looks like for you.
MOST POPULAR
Your Reefs. Your Pace. Your Crew.
Three to four dives per day, including night dives. Free Nitrox 32% for all certified divers. Dive guides with 15+ years on these specific reefs. Equipment prepared daily by the crew. Snorkeling parallel to every dive — no one is left out.
Where the Wind Is. Where Others Aren’t.
The northern Red Sea islands deliver 5–8 knots more wind than mainland spots. Aphrodite anchors at remote lagoons — Ashrafi, Geisum, Hamata — with zodiac support on the water. IKO and VDWS instructors available for groups including beginners.
Three Decks. Open Sky. Your Programme.
Three decks give you real space to run sessions, the sun deck handles groups for morning practice, the lower deck shadow area provides shade for afternoon workshops. The boat moves at night so you wake up somewhere new, on calm water, with the right light.
Real Bonding. No Conference Room.
Aphrodite handles corporate charters for teams who want something genuinely memorable — strategy sessions at anchor, team dinners under the stars, and activities that bring people together. Full vessel exclusivity, end-to-end logistics, custom catering, AV equipment in salons.
