Shaab Saimen
Hard coral reef running parallel to the shore, seperated by a narrow sandy strip, and rising from 20-30m to 2m below the surface. Large schools of snapper, goatfish, fusiliers and other reef fish and the occasional white tip reef shark. Hard coral formations second to none in the Red Sea.

Ras Abu Soma
Reef lying in front of the shore sloping gently and offers numerous quality dive sites. Several caves with sweepers, schooling reef fish and occasional sightings of eagle rays are not uncommon.

Tobia Arba
Also named the "seven pillars", rising from a sandy bottom and display a fascinating landscape of soft corals, glass fish, gorgonians. Giant puffer fish, blue spotted rays and octopus.

Tobia Kebira
Isolated reef emerges from a shallow sandy depth and offers interesting diving with schooling fish, morays and groupers..

Tobia Soraya
Stretching out from Tobia Island, run a chain of pinnacles with a sandy bottom in between. Stingrays, trigger fish and big shoals of banner fish with gorgonians and acroporas in the background.

Gamul Soraya
Very colourful dive with hovering sweetlip shoals, banner and butterfly fish. A small coral block which can be circumnavigated in some half an hour.

Panorama Reef
One of the highlights of the area. Huge coral formation with walls dropping to over 200m. Numerous grottos and overhangs, gorgonians and soft corals. Jacks, barracudas and reef sharks often visit the area.

Middle Reef
Northerly reef face slopes to 30m, then plummets vertically too much greater depths. Hard coral gardens on the east and west corners with acroporas, brain and salad coral. Fun dive on the south side through the shallow labyrinth of caves, tunnels and passages. Groupers, puffers and sweetlips.

Fellow Rocks
Two coral mountains rising from 25m to 3m below the surface. Seldom dived due to exposure to bad weather conditions on the surface and the strong currents under the water.

Abu Gafan
Possibly the best dive in Safaga, a 300m long and narrow barrier features a ‘plateau’ in both north and south extremes. Superb wall diving with soft and black coral, giant fan and gorgonians. Frequent sightings of jacks, barracuda, reef sharks and the occasional hammerhead

Shab Sheer
A long barrier creates a shallow lagoon on its south side and hard coral gardens on both its east and west extremes. Porites, acroporas and fire coral with schooling jack, snapper and tuna fish.

Wreck of the Salem Express
A Ferry carrying pilgrims returning from Mecca, sank in 1991 after hitting the reef at night. 300 victims perished in one of the greatest marine tragedies of all time. There is very little growth on this wreck and few fish have taken up residence apart from an occasional frogfish. Many divers avoid this site considering it a morbid forbidding place.
