Red Sea / Strait of Gubal Dive Sites

Dahab is one of the most versatile diving locations in the world. Conditions in Dahab are ideal for learning to dive or extending your skills. Every dive site has unique topography and acquatic life. Our reefs are oases under the sea - 20% of our fauna, and 50% of our Butterflyfish, are found nowhere else in the world. The sites combine coral garden, arches, canyons and caves, with a huge diversity of reef fish and invertebrates, as well as turtles, Rays, Moray Eels, Octopus, and larger fish including Napoleonfish, Barracuda, small sharks and dolphins.

The Blue Hole One of the world’s famous dive sites, the Blue Hole is 200m in diameter and plunges to uncharted depths. Our dive starts at Bells, following an open crack in the wall down to a small chute that pops us out onto the best wall dive north of Ras Mohammed, then exits through the Blue Hole. Frequent sightings of large fish and Rays....more

The Canyon Another of Dahab’s world class dive sites. This is a beautiful dive that takes you into a huge cavern under the sea bed. We exit at the Fish Bowl - a coral bowl filled with thousands of Glassfish. The Canyon is also an incredible night dive, especially with the full moon.

Eel Garden Named after the colony of eels that populates its sandy slopes. A gentle, shallow dive where schools of Barracuda and many hard and soft coral are encountered.

Abu Helal Abu Helal means Bay of the Crescent Moon. Beautiful coral formations that roll over gentle hills and have formed amphitheatre shaped valleys abundant in sea life.

The Hutts (Abu Telha) Exciting topography at 25m, as well as abundant marine life and massive corals in the shallows. Possible to drift dive to Abu Helal. A site often ignored by others - all the better for us!

The Islands Another recognised world class dive site. Three underwater coral islands, where you swim through corridors of color, teeming with fish life. Schools of Yellowtail Barracuda and Twinspot Snapper.

Lighthouse Dahab’s first reef, and a beautiful place to learn to dive. Home to many, many species, including this very hard to spot Frog fish.

Desert Divers Bay The bay just in front of Desert Divers, between Lighthouse and Mashraba reefs. This area is a mix of coral formations and seagrass, perfect for baby and juvenile fish. It's also one of very few areas in Dahab where you find seahorses, and rare ghost pipefish.

Mashraba Reef To the right of Desert Divers, beyond the nursery and beautiful shallow corals (perfect for a snorkel), you find Mashraba Reef. Some of the finest table corals the area has to offer and teems with life day and night. Excellent night diving.
