Rocky Island Liveaboard Dive Site

Rocky Island is a remote reef dive in Rocky and Zabargad Islands, Egypt, within an area known for remote island walls, reefs and wrecks. 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 Rocky and Zabargad Islands. 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 Zabargad Island and Turtle Bay (Zabargad). Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Rocky Island dive site in Egypt is visited by 13 dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.5 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £72.00.

If you want a more intimate experience, the smallest liveaboard in this selection of the Rocky Island dive liveaboards is Sea Friend Liveaboard, which has 13 cabins, accommodates up to 20 guests, and is 40 m in length. If you prefer a larger boat, Hammerhead II Liveaboard, which is 43 m in length, has 16 cabins, and accommodates up to 32 guests.

To dive the Rocky Island 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 Rocky Island dive site on its itinerary, to make sure both your dive certification and level of experience match its minimum levels.
