Plongée à Safaga — Egypt
Safaga sits just south of Hurghada but feels worlds apart, with far fewer divers and arguably better offshore reefs. Panorama Reef is a towering pillar of coral surrounded by blue water, while the controversial Salem Express wreck draws experienced divers to its haunting hull. Strong winds make it a kitesurfing hub topside.
