Golden Blocks- Moray Garden: easy Dahab shore dive with coral blocks.
Golden Blocks- Moray Garden is a sheltered southern Dahab shore dive with an easy beach entry, coral blocks, and a gentle coral slope that can be dived as a relaxed out-and-back or as a longer link toward Moray Garden and Three Pools. The route starts shallow over sand and shingle, then opens into coral alleys and reef structure that keep the dive interesting without demanding strong current. It suits patient beginner and novice divers who want a reefy profile, mild flow, and flexible turn points.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.

The shore entry starts at the beach; published profiles vary from roughly 22 to 40 meters, so 30 meters is a conservative working maximum.
Best Season
Year-round; spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable.
Typical Conditions
Shallow sandy entry, gentle coral slope, protected southern exposure, and a route that can be extended into a longer drift when conditions are calm.

Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight over the coral slope and blocks, and watch gas and turn pressure if you extend the dive into the drift links.
Access Restrictions
Use the normal Dahab shore-entry route and local parking etiquette; the entry itself is simple, but reef and shoreline use should stay within local rules.
Legal Notes
No site-specific permit or closure is surfaced in the reviewed material; follow local Dahab reef-access and protection rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a relaxed shore scuba dive with a slow reef swim, coral blocks, and optional drift legs toward Moray Garden or Three Pools.
Freediving
Freediving is only sensible near the shallow entry; the main reef features sit farther out and are better explored on scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works near the shallow approach, but the reef color and marine life build once you move beyond the sand.
