    Gasus Soraya is a gentle introduction to Safaga's reefs, a shallow site topping out at 19 metres. It's an easy dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second tank. Expect to find a good mix of smaller reef fish around the coral blocks, with the occasional turtle gliding past. The lack of strong currents makes for a pleasant, unhurried exploration.
