Hello Sander. I stayed at Bedouin Moon Hotel and dived with Reef2000. It was excellent particularly wrt the diving which was well organized, in small groups and with experienced dive guides. The guides knew the sites well and were safety conscious almost to a fault. I don't think I ever came out of the water with less than 80 bar. Also very friendly and laid back. If I was any more relaxed I think I would have stopped breathing all together.
The hotel and restaurant were also quite good. BMH and Reef2000 are on the outskirts of Dahab, abt a 5 min or E£10 (some say £5 but I'm not that good a negotiator) taxi ride to town centre. Certainly walkable if you're not in a hurry. The employees and clientele both were also very friendly and diverse. Everyone had a good story. The rooms were a little worn but clean. Alas there were some creepy-crawlys but if bugs are a showstopper, Africa may not be the best place to holiday.
In general, I couldn't recommend Dahab more, for quality of diving, the scenery topside and the people. There are better places to dive in the world but I haven't found them yet...err...except for Newfoundland of course but I might be biased on that point.
Feel free to PM if you have questions.
