ENY - Safaga

ENY, another Safaga wreck, offers something a bit different. This motor vessel, grounded on Na'man Island rocks back in '69, sits shallow enough that parts of her hull break the surface. We find it's less about deep exploration and more about the interplay between the exposed steel and the surrounding reef, especially the way the light filters down through the superstructure. You can poke around the shallower sections, spotting pipefish tucked into crevices and parrotfish grazing on the coral growth that's started to colonise the metal. It’s a good spot for a second dive, or if you fancy a leisurely snorkel above a historical site.
