Reef
Shore entry over a reef top to a shallow Dahab coral maze; best at high tide and light wind, with a calm-water loop around the reef shoulders.
About Islands
Islands, Dahab is a reef-top shore dive where two shallow reef shoulders frame a hard-coral maze just off the sand strip. The site is short to reach from local dive centers, but the entry is tide-sensitive and works best with light wind and a calm sea. Once inside, the route stays shallow and rewarding, with several lines around the coral garden.
