Dahab offers a wide range of shore dives, from shallow gentle dives, such as the Lighthouse, Eel Gardens , Islands , Coral Gardens , to deeper dives like the Canyon, Bells to the Blue Hole and Blue Hole itself. As Dahab has no marina, all dive sites are reached by 4x4 and dived from the shore. Don’t worry - the reefs are all very close to the shore, so no exhausting long surface swims necessary.

Standard 10- & 12-dives packages, recreational PADI courses and nitrox/mixed gas courses are available in combination with hotel accommodation in Dahab.
