Dive-site story
Set along Dahab's main promenade, Lighthouse is the town's central training and shore dive. Divers step over a gravel slope into a sandy basin, then track a reef wall northward past hard coral gardens and scattered pinnacles. Flanking seagrass beds shelter camouflaged bottom-dwellers, while protected bay waters offer dependable conditions for navigation exercises and night descents.
Gradual shore entry leading directly to a sheltered reef wall and sandy saddle
Night diving among hunting morays and active cephalopods
Seagrass patches sheltering cryptic macro fauna and benthic species
