Flamenco Hausriff - Safaga

Our team always enjoys a shore dive, and the Flamenco Hausriff offers a nice change of pace from boat trips in Safaga. We usually head out in the morning, finding the light best for spotting the smaller stuff like African eel blennies peeking from crevices. Keep an eye out for Red Sea half-and-half chromis schooling over the staghorn and Montipora corals; they often reflect the sunlight beautifully. It’s a comfortable dive, good for stretching your fins or taking your time with a camera, particularly if you're keen on nudibranchs or the tail-spot squirrelfish tucked into the reef.
