Over 1 000 species of fish can be found in the waters surrounding DAHAB, making it easily one of the best dive sites in the Red Sea. Diving conditions in Dahab are ideal for learning to dive or extending your skills with PADI courses. 
Large numbers of pelagic fish, including Tuna, Barracuda and Groupers can regularly be found here, as well as stunning array of reef fish. Few miles north of Dahab lies a dark hole which rests in the shallows of a saphire reef shelf – The Blue Hole. The abundance of marine life here is astounding; on a Blue Hole dive you will encounter corals, fans, eels and dozens of fish species which thrive here. Although beautiful, this dive site is extremely dangerous, a word of warning – don’t let the Blue Hole's dark beauty lure you too far down, more than a few people have gone in and never come back.

What is the Open Water course?

The Open Water course is the basic scuba diving certification course taught by all certification agencies. There are small differences in course content between agencies, but they all cover the same basic skills and knowledge you will need to know as an independent diver.

For experienced divers, the Red Sea has a treasure hidden in its belly. The sea is a witness to many wreck sites which are a part of marine history today. These wrecks are examples of how nature can make manmade things their home! There is the Ghiannis D, a Greek boat that collided with another wreck and sunk in 1983. Divers get an opportunity to swim through and explore the deserted hull and gawk in awe at moray eels, butterfly fish and shoals of batfish.
I know of a diver who is a cook and when he dived the wreck, he went straight to the kitchen.
