Panorama Reef
With certainty the best known reef in Safaga. In about 60min we
have reached the reef from MenaDive. A very big reef with walls on
the western and the eastern side in the south and the north there is a
plateau. Surrounded by the sea, of course current will occur but a
very good chance for seeing big fish. A famous turtle is living there
since years doe to here special formed shell she is called
“Quasimodo”.
Panorama North
This is for sure the most beautiful part of the Reef. The east side of
the plateau is full of hill forming corals which are slowly going down
in the depth. Thousands of fairy basslets are swimming in the current,
which can be here very strong. Here the Red Sea shows itself from the
best side, colorful, beautiful corals and a lot of fishes. It is a good
place to see Sharks. On the west part of the plateau are huge table
corals. Don´t forget to take a look under them!
Panorama South
The south plateau starts on 18m and is slowly falling down to a little
bit more than 30m.On the east side are growing huge gorgonians in
which you can find longnosehawk fishes. If the current is not too
strong we will dive on to the east side which is because of often
stronger current covered with really nice corals. In the shallow area of
the southwest is a big anemone field with a huge amount of clown
fishes. Scorpion fishes are seen in every dive and also a few
barracudas made the south to their district. |
