South Sinai · 5–40 m
A reef dive about 11km from Naama Bay, directly south of Ras Ghamila, whose Arabic name means 'Christian Cape'. The reef drops from shallow bays into a wall descending past 60m, riddled with caves and overhangs, and can be dived as a drift, semi-drift or from a mooring depending on current.

Pinky's Wall is a dramatic, undulating wall on the Hadaba coast dropping to roughly 180 m, packed with chimneys and overhangs. The wall is a strong vantage point for spotting pelagics cruising in the blue, and divers typically run a multi-level profile along the soft-coral-covered face.
South Sinai · 7–110 m
The Blue Hole is a roughly 100 m-deep submarine sinkhole in the fringing reef just north of Dahab. Recreational divers explore the shallow rim and the saddle linking it to the open sea, while the famous Arch tunnel at around 52 m is reserved for technical divers. It is notorious worldwide for fatalities among divers attempting the Arch beyond their limits.
South Sinai · 5–25 m
Abu Helal is a reef dive on the coast north of central Dahab, with a coral garden and seagrass shallows sloping to a reef edge. It is a relaxed shore dive away from the busiest sites.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Ras Abu Galum is a Bedouin-managed protected area about 15 km north of Dahab, reached only by camel or boat. Its hard-coral plateau, pinnacles and cleaning stations attract turtles, barracuda and occasionally eagle and manta rays, with around six dive sites suiting all levels.
South Sinai · 5–25 m
Middle Garden lies between Near and Far Garden on the coastline north of Naama Bay. Its defining feature is a large white sandy patch where bluespotted rays are frequently seen resting, with coral pinnacles and a gentle slope around it. An easy, relaxed dive suitable for beginners and training.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
One of the most celebrated dive sites in the world, sitting at the southern tip of the Sinai where the Gulfs of Aqaba and Suez meet the Red Sea. Two coral pinnacles rise from great depths to near the surface forming dramatic walls and a 12-20m plateau, with hundreds of anemones and their resident clownfish in the shallows. Adjacent lies the cargo of the wrecked Cypriot vessel Yolanda, with toilets, bathtubs and pipework scattered across the shallow reef.

South Oasis is a reef dive in the southern Dahab stretch toward Gabr El Bint, offering a sloping coral garden and pinnacles in a quieter, less-visited part of the coast reached by boat or camel.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
Golden Blocks is a southern Dahab reef site, in the stretch toward Gabr El Bint, named for the large golden-hued coral blocks and pinnacles rising from the slope. It offers coral gardens in the shallows dropping to a wall, and is reached by boat or camel.

The Bells is a narrow breach in the reef table forming a chimney that divers descend through, exiting around 27-30 m onto a sheer vertical wall. It is the classic starting point for a drift dive along the reef wall that finishes by crossing the saddle into the Blue Hole.
South Sinai · 5–30 m
A striking wall dive at the southern entrance of Marsa Bareika bay, directly across from Ras Ghozlani; the Arabic name translates roughly as 'Head of Thyme'. The reef wall, dotted with caves and overhangs, is a good place to encounter large tuna, barracuda and jackfish, with cruising grey reef sharks in summer.
