The Caves
Southern Dahab shore dive with cave-like overhangs and a calm-water entry.
Road-accessible Dahab south site with overhangs, high-tide entry needs, and a strong coral-and-small-life payoff once you are in.
About The Caves
The Caves is a southern Dahab shore dive built around broad overhangs and cave-like recesses rather than a true overhead cave system. The entry is a giant stride off the reef ledge, so the site wants calm water, high tide, and a patient exit when the sea gets choppy. Once inside, a sandy slope, shallow reef, and coral-covered walls make it a rewarding Red Sea dive with groupers, morays, scorpionfish, bannerfish, and other small life.

Safety Notes
Plan the dive for high tide and calm conditions. Strong winds and low water make entry and exit difficult, so the ledge and shore break are the main risks.
Access Restrictions
