10 days: Safaga-Daedalus-Fury Shoals

旅程的高潮

• Safaga: Abu Qifan legendary for hammerhead shark sightings in late spring and manta rays in winter. This 300 m long and narrow reef offers a plateau at the north and south tips. Panorama Reef: one of the largest reefs in Safaga with numerous grottoes and overhangs where gorgonians and soft corals thrive with the frequent, nurturing currents. Due to the size of the barrier, there are at least three different dives here: the southern plateau and the east and west slopes
• Tobia Arbaa: The “seven pillars” were named after the small pinnacles that protrude from a sandy bottom. One of the best dives in Safaga, despite the shallow bottom which sometimes results in less than perfect visibility. Soft corals cover all seven ergfish, glassfish, gorgonians, giant puffers, octopuses, bluespotted rays, moray eels, lionfish, sergeant majors, nudibranchs, etc.
• Daedalus Reef is surrounded by a sloping cliff and has a plateau on the south side that drops from 30 m at the wall to 40 m at the edge. The fish population is impressive: schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish and mackerel, more diverse and abundant than anywhere else.
• Located in the southern Red Sea, Fury Shoals are a dolphin mecca. There are countless beautiful reefs here with thousands of colorful fish. The biological diversity of hard and soft corals is astonishing. Dives here vary in difficulty and vary from easy to challenging depending on where you dive.
