Giant Moray

You will find the wreck of the Hilma in the South. Three moorings mark the wreck, one on the bow on the stern and one shallower on the reef itself. The Hilma Hooker was sunk in 1984 and she lays perfectly on her side just of the reef on the sandy bottom. The wreck is about 72 meters in length so lots to explore here. Check underneath the masts for spiny lobsters. Also check out the cargo holds, the airshafts and the wheelhouse. Large numbers of tarpons and barracudas like to hang out around the wreck, both during the days and at night. Penetration of the wreck with a trained local guide only. But just exploring the outside of the wreck makes already for a great dive. Specially in combination with the reef where you will find some surprising stuff, even the occasional frogfish is hiding here. Dive site for experienced divers. Enriched air highly recommended, so you can enjoy more of the shipwreck at depth. Shallow reef makes an excellent safety stop.

Gabr el Bint ranks among one of the most attractive sites of North Sinai. With the access by boat, 4x4 or by camel, it is less frequently dived than the other dive sites in Dahab which has left this site in pristine condition. Gabr el Bint means 'The Grave of the Girl' in Arabic. There are two dives possible here. The ledge is riddled with exquisite coral heads that attract numerous reef species, including swarms of anthias, scorpionfish, parrotfish, crocodilefish, surgeonfish, triggerfish, trumpetfish, stingrays and very often a turtle. At the end of the ledge usually is home to a shoal of black and white snappers and twinspot snappers hang here between 5m and 10m. One of the truly breathtaking dives in Dahab.

Johnny's Gorge is a bed of low-lying rocky outcrops emerging from the bottom at 26metres / 85 feet. Surrounded by sand in every direction, these rocks have become an oasis of security and food for everything from small angelfish and anemonefish to spectacular schools of mackerels, barracudas, trevallies, bumphead parrotfish, surgeonfish, and snappers. And if this isn't enough, this world-class dive site is also home to reef sharks, giant groupers, large stingrays, and visiting manta and eagle rays. There is very rarely a quiet moment at Johnny's Gorge.
