Dahab, The Blue Hole & The Canyon (Minimum 4 Pax) from Sharm El-Sheikh, 2 Dives from Shore

Dahab, a small and quiet town about 80 kilometres north of Sharm el Sheikh, its most popular with divers for the magnificent Canyon and Blue Hole dives.

The first dive will be the Canyon, Situated 10 kilometers outside of Dahab. You will access the site by crossing over a shingle beach leading on to a reef platform, which stretches out a few meters until you reach a small sandy sheltered lagoon, which has an average depth of 3 meters. After descending, you swim through a shallow saddle in the lagoon, which leads to the open reef at which point you head to the left, gradually getting to a depth of 20m where the largest opening of the canyon appears. Upon approaching the canyon, you have the delight of seeing many bubbles stream up through the cracks in the sea floor. We enter and exit the canyon one-by-one however once inside there is plenty of room for large groups to explore and enjoy the spectacular lighting effects from the overhead sun. The floor sits at around 28m depending on the tide however; the canyon slopes downwards and become narrower before ending at a depth of 54 meters.

The second dive will be The Blue Hole. You will travel a further 1.5 kilometers up from the Canyon to reach the famous Blue Hole. You will start by diving outside the blue hole, entering the water through The Bells, which is a small crack in the main reef, quickly turning in to a narrow chimney open on one side to the blue, with an exit point at approximately 28m. Once you have exited, the main reef wall is immediately on your right and is full of life and color. You continue along this wall with cornet fish who love to play with your bubbles and even cleaner wrasses that might try to help you clean out an ear or even your mouth! Gradually you will reach a shallow coral garden at around 7m, which marks the entrance point to the blue hole. Once you in, the direction you take largely depends on the amount of air divers have left, swimming from the right side is longer than the left one.
