 The Red Sea offers some of the world's best scuba diving. The high
saline content results in superb visibility (up to 50 metres), there’s
an abundance of fish life (over 1000 species) and there are countless
varieties of hard and soft coral (over 200 species). Added to that, you
can enjoy warm water temperatures (20-26°C) for most of the year.
From the narrow continuous reef that hugs the shoreline at Dahab, the
underwater terrain quickly drops away into the fathomless depths of
the Gulf of Aqaba. Within easy reach of the town are an abundance of
coral gardens that are home to a kaleidoscopic bounty of reef fish.
For experienced divers, the world-famous Bells and the Canyon offer
great opportunities, while Ricks Reef, South Oasis and the Moray
Garden all have a wealth of black corals and sea fans. The Lighthouse
is another classic, with sprawling coral gardens and a fantastic
variety of marine life.
The various dive destinations are reached by road and each site has
its own distinctive character and charm. Your
program includes five
full days of diving and a typical day will begin after breakfast with
a morning dive. After lunch, you may shift to another site for a
second dive before returning to your hotel later in the day. In the
evenings there are numerous cheap restaurants to choose from and you
can enjoy a fabulous seafood banquet for just a few dollars.
