Safaga

Panorama Reef.

Sweeping plateaus and gorgonian wallsPanorama Reef (Abu Alama) is one of Safaga's signature dives, a large oval reef whose northern and southern plateaus drop into deep blue water draped with huge gorgonian fans and soft corals. Sloping shelves at 20-30 m attract Napoleon wrasse, schooling barracuda, tuna and occasional reef sharks, with whitetips often patrolling the western side. Currents and the open setting reward divers with frequent pelagic encounters.Read the full write-up →
