    Aida is a popular wreck in Safaga, often done as a second dive after the Salem Express. The wreck sits upright, easily accessible to advanced divers. We’ve seen good staghorn coral growth on the superstructure, and if you're lucky, a passing false killer whale or even a whale shark might cruise by in the blue. Strong currents can be a factor here.
