Diving in Dahab

Diving in Dahab is shore-diving with a few exceptions. We simply drive along the shore by jeep or pick-up truck, gear up at the beach and start diving.

Shore based diving means that you have much more time to relax and enjoy your extra time during your holiday. No early wake up calls, long tiring journeys with the boats , no long transfers to & from the Jetties.

A Typical day of diving with Daniela

A typical day of diving consists of 2 shore dives.

If you dive for the first time with us, your guide will go through the basic diving rules and make a brief check under water .

We depart in small groups and all diving is with one of our dive guides who will give you a briefing about the dive site before entering the water .

Dives are scheduled around 9am and 2pm (1:30 in winter). In the morning, we set off with the Jeeps for our deep dive. We are usually back by 11:30, so that you have a couple hours to eat and relax before the afternoon dive.

There is always the possibility to do more than 2 dives a day . We can also arrange early morning dives, night dives if you whish as well as private guides .

In the afternoon, we make a shallow dive. If we go to the south , usually we stay out all day. There are many little restaurants and bars where you can have a snack between the dives and sometimes we arrange a Bedouin lunch in between the dives.

In the high seasons , we sometimes go a bit earlier or later than the normal hours to avoid other divers & crowds so that everybody can enjoy the diving .

We also arrange early morning and night dives as well as camel dive Safaris to Ras Abou Galloum and Gabr el bint Protectorates. 

Group Harmony

The Daniela Diving centre will do its best to keep the groups as small and Harmonious as possible. We always try to put divers of similar level together. This will make the divers enjoy their dives & create a Harmony in the groups.

To optimize this procedure we require with every diving booking the dive certificate level so we can prepare the groups in advance , a second check is of course done with the first dive.

Divers need to bring their logbooks & license.

If you do not feel comfortable diving is a group , it is also possible to have your personal guide for a little supplement.

House reef Daniela Village

The reef in front of the Daniela Diving Centre is really amazing due to the huge number of beautiful untouched corals on the plateau as well as the drop off. Best diving conditions to enter and exit will be found on high tide and calm wind. To enter and exit easily we pass one of the three lagoons snorkeling to the edge of the reef table through one of the natural pools. Descending on the edge we discover a maximum depth of 12 meters, following the plateau in a direction of 120 degree, we arrive at the drop off starting in a depth of 25 meters. All along the house reef from north to south there are beautiful huge table corals, which are all nearly untouched. Attractions: Stonefish, Turtle, Crocodile-Fish, Stingray, Barracudas, Surgeonfish, Napoleon fish. Entrance/Exit: Easy on high tide and calm weather conditions.
