Canyon Diving - Egypt, Egypt

The Canyon is one of Dahab's most iconic dive sites, located north of the Blue Hole. This advanced shore dive features a dramatic narrow crack in the reef that plunges to over 50 meters, creating a stunning underwater canyon effect. Divers descend through the narrow fissure with walls on both sides, opening into a vast underwater amphitheater. The canyon walls are covered in beautiful fan corals and soft corals, while the open water reveals passing pelagics. The site requires advanced skills due to depth and overhead environments, but delivers one of the most unique diving experiences in the Red Sea.
