    Extra Divers in Safaga is a good, reliable spot, often used for check dives or when the weather's a bit frisky elsewhere. It’s a shallow site, easing you into the Red Sea vibe without throwing too much at you. We often see large patches of seagrass here, which really brings in the Hound Needlefish and Dusky Parrotfish, happily grazing. Look closely around the scattered coral heads, you'll likely spot Chestnut Blennies peering out, and we've logged a good number of Desjardin's Sailfin Tangs weaving through the Staghorn coral. It’s not a drift dive, just a relaxed potter around, perfect for getting your buoyancy dialled in or for a leisurely second dive.
