Dimensions Bleues-Ducks - Safaga

Dimensions Bleues-Ducks, often simply called "The Ducks," is a pleasant, easy dive just off Safaga. You’ll find broad seagrass meadows here, mostly *Cymodocea* and *Thalassia*, which are always worth a closer look. We’ve had some cracking encounters with bottlenose dolphins cruising through the shallows, and the Long-beaked dolphins pop in too if you’re lucky, especially in the early mornings. For macro lovers, keep an eye out for the Brownbar snapping shrimp – their little antennae always give them away – and we've spotted a few Sand-dusted and cloth-of-gold cone snails tucked into the sand patches. It’s a lovely site for a relaxed second or third dive, especially if you’re keen on finding those smaller, often-overlooked critters.
