Safety Notes
Keep an eye on the channel area, where current can build relative to the rest of the reef. The lagoon and coral blocks are otherwise straightforward, but watch trim over the coral.
Access Restrictions
Plan a boat departure from Safaga; the normal route is through a local dive centre rather than by casual shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow standard Safaga boat-diving procedures and site briefings around the lagoon and channel.
