About this dive site
Red Sea canyon geology with classic reef fish and coral walls.
Dahab’s Canyon and nearby sites combine a fringing reef with a sandy chute and coral gardens patrolled by lionfish, groupers and anthias. The Blue Hole area is famous but demands respect, route, depth and overhead rules belong in a pro’s hands. Shore entries and camel-truck culture make Dahab uniquely laid-back.
Most trips target January - December, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is January - December, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Dahab day to day, not just the map pin.
