Guided Diving in Dahab

Here at Poseidon we offer you the best diving, the best customer care, and the best service in the Red Sea! This is a claim made by many – but don’t just take our word for it – take someone else’s as well as nothing is too much trouble, the dive sites are great, and the relaxed atmosphere around the centre makes it the perfect environment in which to learn – for recreational diving in Dahab look no further’ – Mark Phillips 2006 . So come as a customer and leave as a friend!

A relaxed approach...

Dahab provides a relaxing alternative to the larger resorts in Egypt such as Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada; the pace of life here is much slower. With dive sites suitable for beginner’s right up to the most hardcore technical divers, there’s always something new to see, so take a look at the dive sites and see what you think – we can promise that you won’t be disappointed.

Shore based diving means more free time on your holiday...

The diving in Dahab is mainly shore based with easily accessible reefs right on the shoreline. This means there’s no mad rush to the crowded jetty at the crack of dawn; the journey from the dive centre to dive site is made in the back of one of our 4-wheel-drive jeeps. We will always leave on time, and we will ensure you are treated as guests, and not as a tour group. We don’t carry annoying rattles to make sure you are all in line under water, and you can choose the dive sites.

“Dahab must be one of the most relaxed places on Earth. Nobody here is in a rush. There is no boat to catch, no tide to miss, and wherever you turn there are shore side cafes ready to serve you up a cold drink and a plate of hummus and chips.”
Diver Magazine Jan 2004

How the day works..

We normally run two dives per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon with dusk dives and night dives regularly scheduled. There is always the opportunity to do more than 2 dives a day and if you are feeling energetic this can always be arranged for you. We can also arrange early morning dives, night dives, private guides and possibly any other options you can think of!

If it’s been more than six months since your last dive, then a refresh of your skills is a really good idea. One of our instructors will run through some basic theory and then take you on a shallow dive to practice some of the vital skills such as sharing air and buoyancy skills.

Diving Depths...

The maximum depth you will dive to will depend on your certification and experience levels. Beginners and open water divers are usually limited to 18 meters and the maximum depth for recreational diving in the Egyptian Red Sea is 40 meters. Egyptian government policy is also not to allow unguided diving, so all dives must have a qualified dive guide licensed by the authorities. Due to this we keep the ratios of divers to guides down. We can arrange private guides for you for a small extra charge if you wish it. We have a maximum group size of six divers per dive guide, although there is usually less and we will do our best to match up people of similar levels, certification.
