About this site
Shaab Saiman is a stunning reef in the Red Sea near Safaga, known for its dramatic drop-offs and vibrant coral gardens. The site teems with anthias, barracuda, and occasional reef sharks. Strong currents attract pelagics, making it ideal for drift diving. The plateau at 12 meters offers excellent visibility and colorful soft corals. Perfect for intermediate divers seeking dynamic conditions and rich marine encounters.
