Dive Sites in Dahab
The Blue Hole
The Blue Hole is one of the world's famous dive sites, it plunges into the abyss. This is the deepest part of the Red Sea, and it's only 4m off shore!
You can spend many dives seeing why it has attarcted so many divers across the world. Locals believe a
meteorite
blasted through the coral to create the famous bue whole seen on the right. The Blue hole is best dived early in the morning, when you can find eagle rays and giant morays... click for more |

The Canyon
Another of Dahab's world class dive sites is the Canyon. The canyon stretches all the way from Dahab accross to Saudi Arabia. We enter the canyon near the shore by dropping 10 metres in to a slim canyon where light beams from above light up the mysterious tunel. The best thing about diving the Canyon is that you never know what you are going to see when you drop into the Canyon, from bumphead parrot fish to lionfish, we find a variety of life just round the next corner. Diving the Canyon is an experience, ideal for photographers, and an explorers dive. We drop to 30m into a huge cavern under the sea bed. We normally exit at the Fish Bowl. The Canyon is a fantastci night dive, especially during full moon! |
