About Cannon Reef
Cannon Reef is a boat-access Safaga reef in the Red Sea, known for its easy two-way layout across the main reef and south blocks, a drift-free profile, and a shallow reach that keeps the dive approachable. It is more about steady reef cruising than big drama: dolphins, schooling fish, and a relaxed route make the 90-minute boat day worthwhile without asking you to work against the current.
