Diving is extremely popular in Dahab and the reefs here are still in relatively good shape. Known dive sites include Abu Helal, Blue Hole, The Bells, Canyon, Coral Garden, Eel Garden, Lighthouse, Moray Garden, Islands, Three Pools, Gabr El Bint, Ras Abu Gallum.

Diving in Dahab is mainly shore based with easily accessible reefs right on the shoreline. This means there’s 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 one of our 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. Also you can choose the dive sites by yourself.
