Description:
Safaga is a great place to dive. Some divers even claim Safaga's offshore reefs offer better diving than Sharm el Sheikh or Hurghada. The reefs are still relatively unspoiled and have not suffered from the masses.
Most dive sites can be reached by day boat, less than one hour to the inner reefs and between one and a half to two hours to the outer reefs. Diving centers in Safaga, Egypt, will gladly accommodate experienced divers as well as beginners who want a scuba diving certification.
There is something here for everybody: manta rays at Sha'ab Saiman, the eel garden at Gamul Kabira, blue spotted stingrays at Tobias, sharp drop-offs at Abu Kafan, the anemone city at Panorama Reef. There is nothing like a night dive at Sha'ab Sheer or the sight of huge Salem Express lying on its starboard side.
Many live-aboard safaris from Hurghada include Safaga's best dive sites in their itineraries. | |
