About this Dive Site
Description
The Salem Express wreck in Safaga is a poignant and historically significant dive site, resting as an artificial reef after its sinking in 1991. This largely intact ferry offers a haunting exploration, now home to batfish, lionfish, and moray eels, with respectful observation encouraged due to its tragic past.
