Aquarium
Why dive here
Aquarium is a dive where divers can encounter humpback whales, spinner dolphins and whale sharks. Water ranges 22-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Aquarium in Safaga is a mellow dive, perfect for newer divers getting comfortable with Red Sea conditions. We’ve drifted along a gentle slope here, spotting scorpionfish tucked into the sand and plenty of pipefish. Maximum depth is a consistent 19 metres, making it an easy profile for longer bottom times. It’s a good spot to practice buoyancy in calm conditions.
