Plan Panorama Reef North as a boat-dived Red Sea drift site with a calmer north plateau, stronger water movement, and enough structure to reward repeat dives.
About Panorama Reef North
Panorama Reef North is the Safaga side of the Panorama system, where a broad plateau and steep outer walls create a classic Red Sea drift dive. The north plateau is the calmer option inside a much larger reef, but it still runs like an open-water dive with hard coral, gorgonians, and big-fish potential. It is best for confident divers who want current, structure, and pelagic traffic rather than a mellow reef amble. Multiple passes reward more than one dive because the reef changes quickly from plateau to wall.
