Golden Blocks
★★★★☆
(2,068)
This site is approximately a 15min drive, south of Dahab. Great, easy dive site with a beautiful block, full of glass fish and banner fish. Shallow sloping reef with sand and boulders. At 18m deep the site changes to a closed reef, always with sandy roads. There is a small canyon with gorgonians at 25-30m.
You will see tailless pipefish, scorpion fish, blue spotted rays, lots of macro. Whale sharks visit in October! Also dolphins, big stingrays, and eagle rays are possible.
