Land Based Diving In Egypt

[Bookworm11]

Dahab wasn't one of the "fishiest" places I've been to, but I dove there for a week and enjoyed it enough to want to go back. I saw the only dwarf lion fish I've ever seen, I had a very long encounter with an octopus, I saw the eels at Eel garden, and I could look at those big sea anemones and pillars or crol for a long time. Plus now I'm AOW and can go into the Canyon and the Blue Hole.

Get a Deep Diver Certificate. Go to Abu Talha. Stand in the center of the crater and slowly dive to the bottom. And let your partner take a photo of you in the center of the crater with a flashlight in his hand.

Dahab is very nice for technical diving – canyons, arch, caves.
For recreational diving, I prefer Ras Mohammed and Tiran which are both short boat rides from Sharm. There are deep canyons and wrecks in both Ras Mohammed and Tiran but most boats will focus on recreational diving.

Well, I will be doing boat dives this trip to Dahab. Boat dives are easier for me as I've got a dicey ankle that has a hard time with the shore dives with rocks and wavy entrances. And i was already thinking of getting deep dive certified anyway.
