    Panorama Reef North, off Safaga, is one of those deeper Red Sea sites where you’re really hoping for something big to swim by. We’ve had a few trips here with bottlenose dolphins cruising past in the blue, and even a fleeting glimpse of a false killer whale once, if you can believe it. The reef itself has some decent soft coral patches, but let's be honest, you're mostly here for the pelagics. It’s a good spot for divers comfortable with drift dives and keeping an eye on the open water.
