The Dive Sites:-

The Blue Hole
The Blue Hole is the most famous dive site in Dahab. It is a hole in the reef approximately 55m wide and over 150m deep, well beyond the realm of the recreational diver. There is an archway that breaks through the reef at 55m. The archway is a very advanced dive and is for mixed gas diving only. Dives within the Blue Hole are conducted to 30m maximum. Towards the end of the dive there is a saddle in the reef at about 6m where you can enjoy the beauty of the outer reef.

The Canyon
Equally as famous as the Blue Hole, the entrance to the dive site is from a shallow lagoon just a few steps from the shore line. Once outside the lagoon at about 10-14m is the entrance to the Canyon. It is a large ravine cut into the ocean floor from 12m to approximately 50m. There are various large openings with lots to see including beautiful hard and soft corals, glassfish and much, much more.

Ras Mohammed National Park
Located at the point where the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba meet, this dive area is renowned for a number of sites, including ‘Shark Reef’, ‘Anemone City’ and ‘Jackfish Alley’.

Jackson Reef
The most northerly site for day dive boats, this superb example of wall diving offers potential sightings of sharks, turtles and other big fish and, if you’re lucky, possibly a hammerhead during the summer months. The numerous buttresses and gullies are awash with shoals of trigger fish, banner fish and masked puffers drawn to the colourful array of corals and sponges.

Wreck of the Thistlegorm
One of the most famous wreck dives in the world, the Thistlegorm was delivering war supplies to the British army when she was bombed in 1941. The wreck is now teeming with sea life including barracuda, snapper and huge groupers. This dive is subject to weather conditions and is available at an extra local charge.

PADI Dive Courses
There's a range of PADI Dive Courses available from our centre in Egypt. All courses and open water dive packages and excursions are pre-bookable through us at a supplement. We advise you to pre-book your diving to avoid disappointment and secure the best price.
