Dahab is an ideal
destination for those who like to get away from the crowds and enjoy
shore diving. It boasts some of the region’s most pristine reefs as well
as the legendary Blue Hole dive site. The ‘shwia shwia’ (slowly slowly)
approach to life in Dahab
makes it a favourite for divers who want to get away from it all and
relax. Diving conditions are ideal for those want to learn to dive,
further courses or recreational divers. Some of the shore dives are
accessible by 4WD vehicles or even by camel (yes, that’s right, by
camel).
Blue Hole and Canyon
The two highlights of diving at Dahab
are the Blue Hole and Canyon. The Blue Hole is a wonderful site
providing divers play safe. It is essentially a 50m hole in the reef
which plunges 180m. There is an archway at around 60m but that is only
accessible for trained technical divers. The real attraction of the reef
is on the outer reef where there is a huge variety of hard coral and
marine life. The Canyon is a long cavern under the seabed which is a
must for divers who love caves.
