    Drifting along Sanganeb Plateau North, you're looking at a classic Red Sea wall dive. It’s a solid choice for when you want predictable, easy diving with plenty to observe without much effort. We often see schools of fusiliers here, not quite blocking out the sun, but definitely making a decent show of it, alongside the usual Red Sea suspects like parrotfish and triggerfish. It’s a comfortable dive, perfect for getting a couple of tanks in without having to think too hard about conditions. Good for those days when you're settling into your liveaboard rhythm.
