Panorama Reef is a classic Safaga drift-and-wall dive.
Large offshore reef with plateaus, steep walls, and grottos; best for boat dives that can handle current and a drift-style pickup.
About Panorama Reef, Safaga
Panorama Reef is a large Safaga reef with north and south plateaus, steep walls, and a network of grottos and overhangs. The site works best as a drift-friendly boat dive when current and sea state line up, with operators typically using an out-and-back or partial circuit around the reef. Hard and soft coral line the plateau edges and wall sections, and the blue-water scan can bring in larger fish on better days. Plan for a site that rewards more than one dive when conditions allow.
