    Sharm El Lole Camp sits a little off the beaten path in Safaga, which we always appreciate. The site itself isn't one of the Red Sea's showstoppers, but it’s a solid, enjoyable dive, especially if you're looking for a relaxed pace. We’ve had some lovely drift dives here, following the gentle current along a sloping reef. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff – we often spot African eel blennies poking out of the sand and plenty of Klunzinger's wrasse darting between the Montipora and staghorn corals. It's a great spot for an easy second dive or for newer divers getting comfortable with Red Sea conditions.
