diving holidays in Dahab
Dahab, located on the Sinai Peninsular on the western shores of the Gulf of Aqaba, looking across to the hazy blue tinged hills of Saudi Arabia only 12 miles across the twinkling sea. It was once a simple Bedouin settlement lying in the shelter of the rose-hued mountains that gave the Red Sea it’s name.
A lot of dive sites are accessible by RIB, and the more adventurous can head off in a jeep or on a camel to explore the more isolated spots.

The Diving
A lot of dive sites are accessible by RIB, and the more adventurous can head off in a jeep or on a camel to explore the more isolated spots.
The dive sites of Dahab are many and varied for many different levels of diver, some of these sites are listed below:-
The Islands
Drift through the many coral heads and ergs, glide over the coral garden littered with table corals, observe the multitude of shimmering reef fish as they dart amongst the corals of this wonderful site.
The Canyon
ncient volcanic activity created this huge fissure now overgrown with hard and soft corals, which form many tunnels and grottos. The exit from the lagoon is at about 4 metres. Through the left shoulder to the reef and head down to about 15 metres. We skirt along the reef for about 5 minutes until we swim right into the canyon. It is nice to exit the canyon through the "fishbowl" at about 12 metres. Taking time to lie back and watch the Glassfish.
The Eel Garden
Named after the vast colony of these small creatures that inhabit the area, swaying in the gentle current they stretch for food particles passing by. The reef area is frequented by Barracuda, Turtles and Eagle Rays. The whole area is great for photographers.
