Aluminium
Why dive here
Aluminium is a wreck dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Aluminium, off the coast of Safaga, doesn't always grab the headlines, but it holds its own quiet charm. We often drop in here for a relaxed second or third dive, appreciating the extensive seagrass beds. You'll spot wide swathes of *Thalassia* and *Halodule*, which are vital nurseries. Look carefully and you might find cloth-of-gold cone snails inching their way across the sand, or even Indian Ocean bottlenose dolphins cruising through. It's a gentle dive, good for photographers keen on macro life in the seagrass, or those just looking to unwind.
