Description

Diving in Dahab has a unique style

Year in and year out, certified divers tell us that this is the best Dahab dive package! Even for divers who have been diving with us for more than 20 years, it’s still their favourite way to spend a week diving with us:

  • Start with 3 days/6 dives in Dahab
  • Finish with an overnight Camel Diving Safari to Ras Abu Galum, the highlight of many Dahab diving holidays

Ras Abu Galum

Ras Abu Galum is a Bedouin fishing settlement and semi-Protected Area, stretching from the Blue Hole in the south to Ras Mamlah and Nuweiba in the north. It’s home to a beautiful stretch of coral reef, and it’s an underwater photographer’s paradise:

  • stunning coral garden
  • pinnacles
  • sloping reef walls
  • octopus, turtles and rays common
  • plus a huge variety of reef fish and invertebrates.
