Habili Ali Liveaboard Dive Site

Habili Ali is a pinnacle dive in St. John's, Egypt, within an area known for remote pinnacles, walls and cave systems. The precise entry point and route depend on current, weather and the cruise director’s assessment, so an itinerary reference should not be treated as a guarantee that every departure will dive the site.

The most productive side of the reef changes with the water movement. Divers should remain close to the guide, control their depth and be prepared for a negative entry or blue-water pickup where the briefing requires it.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across St. John's. Carry a surface marker buoy, follow the boat’s current and pickup procedures and use nitrox only when qualified and after analysing the cylinder. Wildlife encounters and visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

Other sites in this part of the itinerary include St. John's Caves and Gota Kebir. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Habili Ali dive site in Egypt is visited by five dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.3 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £91.00.

If you want a more intimate experience, the smallest liveaboard in this selection of the Habili Ali dive liveaboards is Emperor Asmaa, which has 10 cabins, accommodates up to 20 guests, and is 30 m in length. If you prefer a larger boat, Golden Dolphin IV Liveaboard, which is 46 m in length, has 14 cabins, and accommodates up to 28 guests.

To dive the Habili Ali dive site, the minimum diver certification ranges from Open Water Diver to Advanced Open Water Diver, and logged dive requirements range from no minimum number of logged dives to minimum 50 logged dives. So be careful when you choose a liveaboard that has the Habili Ali dive site on its itinerary, to make sure both your dive certification and level of experience match its minimum levels.
