Welcome to Dahab, Egypt
Located on the Sinai Peninsula approximately 80 km north of Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab is a former Bedouin fishing spot. Today, it’s considered to be one of Egypt’s most treasured diving destinations. Dahab is home to the world-renowned Blue Hole and some of the most pristine reefs in the Egyptian Red Sea.
We’ve had some truly amazing adventures here in previous years.

”I was so excited to dive in clear water and it did not disappoint 😁 - the marine life was amazing, it was like being in our own huge beautiful aquarium. The dive sites and guides were fabulous, I felt so safe with them, the hotel, food and itinerary were brilliant and the company of you guys and gals was the best! Thanks to everyone for hints and tips to help me improve my diving, especially my buoyancy. And finally for the laughs, IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Can’t wait to do it all again.

Zara
”It was a pleasure to be back in the clear warm water of Dahab and its many fantastic dive sites. El Bells and the Canyon remain by favourites.
Nick
”The diving trip was absolutely amazing. To think that I've lived 38 years without experiencing the magnificent underwater world makes me realise how much we are missing out on. I would describe is as a humbling experience to have the opportunity to explore a world where we have to respect the creatures that live within it. Ayaan is a patient teacher and I am so glad that I did this and look forward to more diving!
Nazia
”Lifelong goal to swim with turtles ✔️ - the food, company and diving all amazing. Downsides… didn’t get enough of a tan. Didn’t get to eat enough falafels and not long enough. All in all 20 out of 10!
