Experience Dahab’s Iconic Dive Sites

From Vibrant Coral Gardens to Historic Shipwrecks

The Blue Hole

Dahab’s most famous dive site is the Blue Hole, a mesmerizing underwater sinkhole plunging over 100m deep. Advanced divers come for “The Arch,” a stunning tunnel at 56m connecting to open water, while the nearby Bells entry offers a thrilling vertical descent. This site demands respect—its beauty has tragically claimed lives of those pushing depth limits.

The Canyon

Just north of the Blue Hole lies The Canyon, an exhilarating swim-through dive. Descend into a narrow fissure that opens into a cavern, with sunlight filtering through cracks in the reef. Perfect for adventurous divers, this site combines dramatic geology with colorful coral walls and frequent reef shark sightings.

Eel Garden

For relaxed diving, Eel Garden delights with its sandy slopes covered in hundreds of garden eels peeking from their burrows. This shallow, picturesque site (5-20m) offers excellent visibility, vibrant coral patches, and is ideal for beginners, snorkelers, or underwater photographers.
