Daedalus Reef Dive Site — Egypt
About Daedalus Reef
A massive isolated reef in the open sea, marked by a historic lighthouse. Schools of scalloped hammerheads are regularly sighted here, along with thresher sharks, grey reef sharks and large pelagics. The reef walls are adorned with spectacular gorgonian fans. The remoteness guarantees pristine, uncrowded diving.
