Neptune Dahab Diving

		A breathtaking coastline of sun-drenched beaches and crystal-clear water make Dahab a favourite among divers and travellers alike. Dahab's picturesque landscape, its spectacular mountain ranges and golden palm fringed bays make it an excellent resort for those seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday, away for the hustle and bustle of the busier resorts. The local area offers various places of interest that can be visited by Camel or Jeep. Dahab still holds its own atmosphere and character that is unique. You will experience while walking along the beach front, lined with coffee houses and bazaars, the radiant colour, jumble, noise and aroma, all that makes up Dahab.

		All along the Sinai coast stretches a wide barrier reef. It made Dahab popular for its shore-diving. Most of the dive-sites along the coast can be reached by Jeep. Some of them are only accessible by camel. The drive through the picturesque Sinai Mountains is an experience for itself. The house reef in the lagoon is right in front of the diving centre. A few coral blocks are scattered within a large sea grass bed. Do not expect large schools of fish. This is the home of small marine life like seahorses, nudi branches, carpet anemones etc.
