I've done about six live-aboards in the Red Sea area and think that the
trips which goes as far South as possible (St. Johns Islands) are great.
Trips to the Brother Islands are also good.

It's a matter of taste. I really can't be bothered with the deep south
trips as there's only a couple of day's interest in more fish and more
coral for me but I've redone the northern wreck itinery several times
and it gets better and better as I know more and more about the sites
we visit.

I remember the one small wreck on a southern trip and I was just trying
to get some good pictures when I had a paniced buddy to deal with. Well
he wasn't really panicked it was more the rec diver equivalent of a
feeding frenzy as a pod of dolphins buzzed us. It was his highlight of
the trip so I tried not to do a Victor Meldrew but they could have
picked a better dive to show up on.
