Small Crack Liveaboard Dive Site

Small Crack is a reef-and-cavern dive in Straits of Gubal, Egypt, within an area known for northern reefs and historic 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.

Any cavern, canyon or swim-through should only be entered where the guide confirms that the route, light and conditions are suitable. Maintain careful buoyancy, avoid contact with coral and do not enter a restricted overhead environment without the appropriate training and equipment.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across Straits of Gubal. 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 SS Thistlegorm and SS Dunraven. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Small Crack dive site in Egypt is visited by seven dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.5 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £66.00.

If you want a more intimate experience, the smallest liveaboard in this selection of the Small Crack dive liveaboards is Red Sea Blue Force 2, which has 9 cabins, accommodates up to 18 guests, and is 28 m in length. If you prefer a larger boat, Ocean Lovers Liveaboard, which is 45 m in length, has 16 cabins, and accommodates up to 32 guests.

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