    The Green Hole ED in Safaga is a gentle drift over a sandy slope down to 21 meters. We often see blue-spotted rays resting on the bottom and the occasional moray eel peeking from small coral heads. It’s a straightforward, relaxed dive, ideal for those getting comfortable with their buoyancy or enjoying an easy second dive.
