Okay, so the "Diving Medicine Center" in Safaga isn't a dive site in the traditional sense. This location is actually a medical facility, specializing in undersea and hyperbaric medicine. Think decompression sickness treatment, fitness-to-dive assessments, and managing other dive-related ailments. While you won't be dropping in for a reef dive here, it’s a crucial facility for any diver in the Red Sea, offering peace of mind should a dive ever go sideways. We’ve known a few divers who were very glad it was there, even if they never planned to “visit.”
