Dive Spot Guide•
Lighthouse
Lighthouse is Dahab's sheltered house reef for easy shore diving.
Lighthouse is a central Dahab shore dive with easy access, a shallow training slope, and a wall that keeps it interesting for repeat visits.
About Lighthouse
Lighthouse is Dahab's house reef and a shore dive in the heart of town, with a sheltered sandy slope that drops onto a reef wall and coral towers. It is a classic training ground, but it rewards repeat dives with deeper structure, night options, and the underwater elephant sculpture area. Easy beach entry, a calm bay, and steady visibility make it one of the most practical dives in Dahab.

Local Intel For Lighthouse
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Start on the shallow sandy slope, then follow the reef wall around the corner to deeper coral towers and a more interesting line. It is forgiving enough for training dives but still worth revisiting at depth.
Freediving
The sheltered bay and shallow slope make Lighthouse one of Dahab's better freedive practice spots, with training lines nearby for structured sessions.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best over the shallow bay in calm water, but the site's strongest appeal is the deeper wall and coral towers beyond the training slope.
