Boat-access wreck dive with a one-way drift and coral garden.
The site is normally run as a guided boat-drift dive from Safaga.
Al Kahfain is a boat-access wreck dive in the Safaga / Sha'ab Sheer area, usually run as a one-way drift past the wreck and along the coral garden toward the east-side anchorages. The wreck sits upside down and rewards careful buoyancy and a torch, while the surrounding reef adds hard coral, barracuda, eagle rays, turtles, and morays when conditions are settled. It is a classic Red Sea boat day where wind and current shape whether you stop on the wreck or keep drifting.
