About Salim ED
Salim ED is a shore-accessed Red Sea reef reached by minibus and entered through a hole in the reef top. The site is a jagged coral ridge with gardens on both sides, plus a maze of tunnels, caves, and canyons that rewards slow, careful buoyancy. Giant groupers, scorpionfish, and other reef fish make the dive feel lively.
