South of Dahab, The Islands is a genuinely magical dive: two large coral 'islands' separated by sandy lagoons, laced with channels, canyons and towering pinnacles. Navigation is part of the fun as you wind between coral heads bursting with life. Consistently rated one of Dahab's best reef dives.
A longer, winding dive over shallow coral (mostly 6–20 m) with an easy shore entry. Little current inside the lagoons; a guide is recommended for the maze-like layout.
Glassfish-packed pinnacles, anthias, groupers, morays and healthy hard coral in every direction.
Suitable for all certified divers; the shallow, sheltered terrain is comfortable for newer divers with a guide.
