St. John's Caves Liveaboard Dive Site

St. John's Caves is a reef-and-cavern 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.

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 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 Gota Kebir and Gota Soraya. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The St. John's Caves dive site in Egypt is visited by five dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.6 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £92.00.
