About Abu Kafan North
Abu Kafan North is a classic outer-reef boat dive in the Safaga and Soma Bay region, built around a shallow north plateau that falls quickly into a much deeper wall. The site feels open and serious without being cold or barren: current, slope, and blue-water exposure shape the day, while the coral structure and pelagic action make it one of the more memorable Red Sea outings for divers who are comfortable managing moving water.
