Welcome to our world!

Here we would like to show you the most interesting dive spots in the Dahab area. We know them all well and are waiting at your service to give you a secure and professional introduction to them.

Ras Abu Galum is a protected area situated 8 kilometers north of the Blue Hole, suitable for both snorkelling and scuba. One of the features of the site is the journey to get there, either by camel or foot along the rugged coastline or by 4x4 through rocky Sinai mountains - all of which will take approximately 1 and 1/2 hours. The sites have fantastic underwater landscapes of corals, both hard and soft as well as plentiful fish that include snapper, butterfly fish, angelfish, glass fish, etc.

EL BELLS:  
 
El Bells is a spectacular dive situated a short distance north of the famous Blue Hole. The descent is vertical through an ancient volcanic fissure with a cavity that widens and narrows giving it the shape of bells. The chimney opens and closes giving tempting glimpses of the big blue beyond, eventually opening out at 30m from a sheer rock wall. Tthe clarity and colour of the water are always exhilarating.  From here you lazily drift south along the rock face ascending gradually to exit at the Blue Hole enjoying the numerous flora and fauna throughout the dive.

BLUE HOLE:  

The Blue Hole, a short 4x4 journey north of Dahab, is one of the most recognised dive sites in the Red Sea, one reason being for its beauty but it is also infamous for the number of fatalities that have occured in its past as divers have attempted to swim the exit at 50 plus metres. However you need not concern yourself with this as we guide you competently within safe parameters. Situated directly on land's edge The Blue Hole is suitable for both snorkelling and scuba with 150 metres diameter descending 110 meters. Here you might hear a parrot fish crunching his coral lunch or watch schools of masked puffer fish glide by like underwater zeppelins.

THE CANYON:  

The Canyon, located only 1.5 kilometers south of the Blue Hole, has a simple beach access with only a few meters of reef before you are there!  The Canyon itself opens in a north south direction on a reef slope that descends to 54 meters. Entry is made through its largest point where you descend 28 meters to the canyon floor to look upwards to watch other divers or cruising silouetted against pristine blue sea- great photo opportunty! Turning northwards you then ascend ten meters to reach a small cave at about 17 meters where you exit into the big blue.

RAS ABU HELAL:   

This site is situated 3 kilometers south of Canyon. You descend to a sandy bed between 7 and 12 metres. Keep the reef on your left side and explore the  beautiful coral garden. The western wall of the promontory drops to a depth of 30 meters. It is best to stick to the coral garden until you reach another sandy seabed where the exit point is.

EEL GARDEN:  

Yes, a garden of eels - a population of hundreds of Red Sea Garden eels to be exact. They burrow into the white sandy slope, swaying half their bodies in the water to look like living plant stalks. However approach too close or too quickly and the garden disappears as the eels retreat into their holes. Ascending towards the entrance area you will see pretty coral gardens with their populations of resident fish including grey morays hiding in their crevices. Eel Garden is just on the northern edge of Dahab so is popular for day and night dives.

LIGHTHOUSE:

Lighthouse is the most frequently visited site in all of Dahab due to the positioning and the fact that it is a great site for beginners as well as more experienced divers. Entry point is from the beach on to an easy sandy slope. The western route has a sandy bottom with many hard coral towers while the Classic route winds in and out of the towers and reaches a depth of 30 metres. Photographers may get the opportunity to take a good shot of an octopus or a puffer fish.

THE ISLANDS:   

The Islands -  a super fun site with lots of swim throughs and spectacular coral reef. Once entering through a narrow coral channel you pass through a series of sandy bottom hard coral pools, then you reach some really beautiful swim throughs at a depth of about 7 to 10 meters; maximum depth is about 22m. You get to hang out with a schol of resident juvenile barracuda, follow lion fish along the coral ond spot the occasional large puffer fish. It is truly a great dive so make sure you check it out.

MORAY GARDEN:  

If you want to have a really great dive and check out some big beautiful morays, then this dive is for you. It is situated a couple of hundred meters south of Happy Life Village directly opposite the Bedouin restaurant Wadi Qnai where you can relax and have a drink or a meal after the dive. The route for this dive allows you to visit another one called Golden Blocks. Swimming down a sandy bottom slope and over a sea grass bed on the right to a depth of 16 to 20 meters you reach several pinnacles which swarm with some beautiful marine life. It's truly a great dive.
 

THE CAVES:  

The caves is the last site on the southern coast of  El-Qura bay. The entry point is in front of a Bedouin restaurant in a gap in the reef. Descend down a mild slope to a depth of 3 meters and 2 caves appear. The cave to the right really makes this dive worthwhile with a really nice display of soft corals, black corals and sponges. Check it outstrong

GABR EL BINT

This site is absolutely stunning. Being part of the protected area of Nabq the site has not been affected by tourism. It is situated 7.5 kilometers south of the caves and is accessible on foot, by camel or boat from Dahab. With the impressive surrounding mountains and the pretty much intact coral reef the site is truly one to experience. The boat ride takes approximatly 1 hour, then you are there to witness a great dive.
