How to plan your dives

Start with Lighthouse, Eel Garden or Three Pools to check your weighting, then move to the Islands and the Canyon. Save the Bells and the Blue Hole for when you feel comfortable at 25–30 m, and book Ras Abu Galum or Gabr El Bint as a full day out. Almost every site is a shore dive, so two or three dives a day are easy.
