Sunsplash Divers

At the southern end of Dahab bay is “Mashraba” reef. Often overlooked as a dive site, it seems to throw up more surprises than other dive sites. The sandy slope leads to a magnificent “bommie” called Roman’s rock, heading south we pass over some impressive formations before coming to a “family” of beautiful table corals at around 20 meters. Air permitting, you can continue on to an impressive gorgonian fan, before turning at a pinnacle swarming with glass fish and antheas, and then returning along the shallow reef.

5min drive from the dive center. Entrance via reef top, therefore only diveable at high tide and little wind. Two reefs reaching just below the surface (Islands) border a shallow, labyrinthine hard coral garden. One of the most beautiful dive sites in Dahab.

From the parking lot at Oasis Fighting Cangoroo Camp, walk through a small alley onto the promenade. If you keep to the left, you will reach the entrance via the private beach of the Fish & Friends Dive Center. Starting from seagrass meadows, a small reef stretches north-east to a depth of approx. 22m.

Named after the Bannerfish cruising the bay by day and by night, and a site rich in different habitats and sea life. From seagrass hosting Seahorses and Turtles, sandy slopes full of Flounders, ghost Pipefish, Seamoths and Frogfishes to mini reefs rich in biodiversity (Octopus, Morays and a large variety of Shrimps and Scorpionfish). A must for beginners as well as experienced divers, marine biologist fanatics and photographers. The bay also offers great training sites with sand patches and a buoyancy park for advanced training.

The Lighthouse dive site is about 3.5 km away at the Dahab Bay and suitable for all level of divers. The reef starts north of the entrance with a sandy slope and leads you to big coral columns and bolders, as well as lovely coral wall on your way back.

Located almost exactly in the center of the town, it offers a huge variety of marine life. Starting with schools of Barracudas, it's not rare to meet Napoleon Brasses, Octopus, Scorpion and Crocodile fish between giant pinnacles full with soft and hard corals. So many different options to dive this dive site. One of our favourite approaches is coming behind those giant pinnacles, swim over the saddle into an amazing coral garden with huge table corals and gorgonians. The way back leads again over the saddle and with an awesome coloured reef to your right, you will have more than plenty opportunities to feed your camera.
