About Panorama Reef
Panorama Reef is a large offshore Safaga reef with north and south plateaus, steep east and west drop-offs, grottos, and overhangs lined with gorgonians and soft corals. It is commonly dived as a drift when the current runs, which makes the site a classic Red Sea big-fish reef with multiple route options and strong pelagic appeal for confident divers.
