About Amphoras
Amphoras is a sandy-slope dive with coral pinnacles, coral blocks, and a drop-off that makes it a natural drift route. It is an easy-to-follow Sharm site with enough structure to stay interesting, but the main plan is still to watch the slope, manage the drift, and stay precise around the reef edges.
