Welcome to one of the most
amazing places for shore diving in the world!

The Islands 
The Islands is one of the most amazing and beautiful reefs in Dahab. It is many peoples favorite place and they just keep coming back here. The name refers to the many corals in the area. Together they create a labyrinth of very interesting rock formations, with natural rifts and some huge brain corals.

The maximum depth is approximately 16 meters, which also makes it good for snorkeling, photography or as a long, shallow second or third dive of the day. However, the labyrinth and especially the entrance and exit point are very narrow and the reef fragile, why you should dive with extra attention and care.

Mashraba Reef
At the southern end of Dahab Bay , lies Mashraba reef, which is a wonderful day or night dive. This dive can be done as either a deep dive or a shallow dive. As a shallow dive, it is an out and back dive along the reef, with a maximum depth of around fourteen meters. Or you could go deeper to an impressive bombie called ‘Romans Rock', and then onto some large coral formations at thirty meters before coming onto a wonderful garden of ‘Table Corals'. At the point of return, you come across one of the most beautiful coral pinnacles in the area, which is surrounded by swarms of Anthias.

The ‘South'

The ‘South' actually refers to the southern region of Dahab, close to the foot of the Sinai mountains, the South includes several beautiful dive sites which you can visit, including:

The Golden Blocks
Shark Reef
Three Pools
Um Sid
The Caves
Murray Garden
When you go South you can spend the whole day diving and in between dives you are able to rest, relax and enjoy lunch in the shade of the Bedouin restaurant.

Canyon

The Dahab Canyon is a classic canyon, and an essential dive for all fanatics of cave and cavern diving. The Canyon is quite a phenomenon. At a depth of ten meters the canyon is virtually closed and it snakes it way down to the depths.

The canyon has three main entry points. The first, at about fifteen meters, is named the coral fishbowl. Below the fishbowl at a depth of about eighteen meters, is a second large bowl. The deepest of all the entry points, opens at a depth of fifty two meters. In between the second and third entry points, the walls have grown together to virtually close over the top of the canyon, forming a tunnel.

The Bells - Blue Hole
 

Just to the North of ‘The Blue Hole', is the dramatic ‘Bells' dive site. Making a giant stride entry from the shore, you drop straight into its mouth, and then you begin your descent through a groove in the reef table. Dropping straight down you may hear other divers knocking against the rock walls; this clanging noise is apparently why this site is called ‘The Bells'. Further down you come to a small archway, which leads you out onto the reef wall at 28 meters. The wall here continues down to around 800 meters! You arrive at ‘The Blue Hole' over a saddle at around seven meters.

Here you will see some wonderful and colourful coral. Swimming around ‘The Blue Hole', we do a safety stop and exit the water.
