Dive-site story
Located south of Dahab along the rugged Sinai coastline, this shore dive gets its name from large undercuts and cavernous overhangs sculpted into the reef shelf directly below the entry point. Divers drop down along a coral-encrusted slope that falls away into blue water, exploring shadows beneath the shoreline reef before returning to inspect the chambers. Ambient light filters into the open caverns, illuminating soft coral formations and shelter-seeking marine life.
Broad open cavern chambers carved directly beneath the shallow reef table
Dramatic step-entry into deep blue water right off the reef edge
Sloping reef covered in table corals, sea fans, and soft coral colonies
