The many beautiful reefs and warm water water make Dahab perfect for snorkeling. Many of the area’s shore-accessed scuba diving sites are also great for snorkeling.

Dahab offers world-class scuba diving opportunities for complete beginners and advanced divers alike. Many of the dive sites are close to the shores around Dahab and this makes it easy to enjoy watersport activities at Dahab Stars in the morning and diving in the afternoon, or vice versa.
