Canyon, Dahab

Canyon is a westerly Dahab site known for its stepped canyon walls and dramatic swim-throughs. Situated in shallow to mid-depth waters off Dahab, divers typically enter from a sandy slope and follow a gradually deepening corridor lined with sculpted rock formations. The site features a mix of walls and canyon passages, with opportunities to explore overhangs and crevices that shelter a variety of reef fish. Conditions are generally good in calm weather, with clearish water and modest current range, making it suitable for intermediate divers comfortable with light entanglement-free navigation. The Dahab area commonly hosts a range of Red Sea fauna, including reef fish, occasional larger species on drifting sections, and the characteristic liveaboard-friendly coral and sponge habitats nearby.
