Dive-site story
Rick's Reef sits along the coast north of Dahab, frequently dived as a gentle drift toward the Canyon. Divers cross a shallow reef table entry into an open slope layered with hard coral formations, table corals, and small sandy gullies where reef fish congregate.
Common drift route connection down toward the Canyon exit lagoon
Pristine hard coral gardens covering the gentle offshore slope
Frequent sightings of moray eels hunting along the reef wall crevices
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is possible year-round, though spring and autumn offer optimal air and water conditions.
