Diving

Diving is extremely popular in Dahab with the beautiful coral reefs being in immaculate condition. Famous dive sites include Abu Helal, Blue Hole, The Bells, Canyon, Coral Garden, Eel Garden, Lighthouse, Moray Garden, Islands, Three Pools, Gabr El Bint (boat dive), Ras Abu Gallum (boat dive).

Diving in Dahab is mainly shore based with easy entry points from the shoreline. This means there is no mad rush to the crowded jetty at the crack of dawn; the journey from the divecentre to divesite is made in the back of a 4-wheel-drive jeeps. We will always leave on time, and we will ensure you are treated as guests, and not as a tour group. You can choose which of the dive sites you want to dive.
