Dahab Diving Holiday 

Dahab Diving Holiday

London scuba diving schools Dive Wimbledon, Dive Putney, Dive Kingston and Dive Balham are planning a school and club holiday to Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula of the Egyptian Red Sea in May this year.

Dahab is a quiet and friendly Bedouin township an hour from Sharm El-Sheik. Although it is becoming more popular it hasn't turned into a tourist town in the way that many Red Sea places have.

Dahab is perfect for beginners and advanced divers with a variety of sites to suit all. It is probably best known for the Canyon and the Blue Hole.

Like all dive sites in Dahab the Canyon starts off with a gentle stroll into the water. Once you are deep enough to submerge you gently fin through a shallow lagoon until you make your way though a cut in the coral and out onto the reef. After swimming north east for awhile across coral bommies you come to a crack in the coral and the canyon beckons below. As you glide down the colour of the water changes slowly to a deeper blue until you reach the bottom and look up and see your bubbles floating up towards the surface, occasionally bouncing off protrusions on their way up. Heading up the canyon it starts to close in a little until you reach a swim through leading into the light. Swim through it and you are in the goldfish bowl. A spherical chamber full of small glass fish with the lights rays flickering through the many holes. It is one of nature?s perfect creations. As you swim out through the exit you know you will come back. This is an advanced dive though Open Water students can also swim into the goldfish bowl.
