Best dive sites in Dahab

The Canyon - Just outside Dahab, this dive site is an open underwater cave at 14 - 22 meters below the surface. It's wide enough for divers to swim through, offering some unique topography. There's easy shore access through a sandy lagoon, and once in you can expect anemones, butterfly fish, unicorn fish, puffer fish, octopus and blue spotted rays.

The Blue Hole - The most visited of all Dahab diving spots, this deep dive site is best accessed via Bell's due to the fact currents always run from north to south. Expect dramatic drop offs covered in corals and home to many little bright orange fish. 

Eel Garden - Right in the city center, just a few minutes from the promenade, this site plays host to huge colony of garden eels. Look to the sandy bottom, where these interesting creatures are swaying in unison with the waves. For the best light, visit early morning or late afternoon. 

Lighthouse Reef - Also in the center of Dahab. A super popular spot for divers and snorkelers alike, this shallow wall of fringing reef offers a wide variety of corals and fish. Often turtles can be spotted here, as well as blue spotted sting rays. 

Napoleon Reef - An excellent dive site for marine wildlife enthusiasts! With top-notch visibility and the chance to see huge grey stingrays, turtles, eagle rays, eels in addition to the rest of the Red Sea's usual inhabitants, make time for at least one dive here.

Snorkeling in Dahab

For qualified divers travelling with snorkelers, Dahab is a great choice. As most diving is done from shore, it is often possible to dive and snorkel the same sites simultaneously.

Resort Description

Desert Divers Dahab Hotel and Camp gives you a choice of accommodation. You can stay on site, at a 3-star hotel with sea view rooms; or you can stay in a Bedouin Camp 200 m along the beach. Either way, this is a great base for diving, climbing, trekking and freediving.

For   backpackers, the basic original Dahab rooms with a shared bathroom are ideal. Basic rooms with bathroom and air-conditioning are a bit pricier but still great value, including some family rooms. And for those with a bigger budget or looking for more privacy, there are single, double and family rooms around the pool at the hotel. Breakfast is included at the hotel. At the camp, buy breakfast at one of three cafes and head 200 meters up the beach to start diving.

There you'll find the 5* PADI dive center, offering a huge selection of courses and world-class dive sites, including the Canyon and Blue Hole. For an incredibly different experience, skip the boats and try a Desert Divers Overnight Safari where camels transport you and your cylinders to remote dive sites. In the past, this was the only way to reach remote fishing settlements - now it’s just the most magical way.  After a full day exploring the seas, enjoy a campfire dinner and a night spent under the stars.
