Dive-site story
Located just north of Dahab's central promenade, this shore dive takes divers through a narrow canyon cutting across the reef flat before opening onto a sloping sandy expanse. The central feature is a massive colony of garden eels swaying rhythmically with the swell while feeding in the water column. Healthy hard coral formations and coral blocks flank both sides of the sand bank, harboring diverse Red Sea reef residents.
Extensive colony of garden eels protruding from the sandy seabed
Passage through a scenic reef channel to reach the outer slope
Vibrant hard coral pinnacles flanking the sand channel
Frequent sightings of blue-spotted stingrays and eagle rays gliding over the sand
