Dahab Lodge
Hotel or lodge, twin sharing
8 days, planned by Tidewrack Voyages
Eight days on the Sinai coast — shore diving off the beach, a canyon in the desert, and a mountain climbed at night.

| Dahab |
| Masbat |
| Lighthouse reef |
Dahab is a shore-diving town — you walk in from the beach with the tank on. It is why people learn here and why it is cheap.

| The Islands |

The recreational route enters at the Bells and drifts along the wall at thirty metres. The Arch at fifty-six is technical, has killed a great many people, and is not what anyone here does.

| Blue Hole |
| The Bells |
| Memorial plaques |
The bands are iron and manganese in the sandstone. The route is run by Bedouin from the local tribe, which is both the arrangement and the point.

It is cold at 2,285 m before dawn even in summer, and the last section is 750 rough stone steps. The monastery below has been continuously occupied since the sixth century.

Nobody does anything useful the day after Sinai and the itinerary does not pretend otherwise.

Shark and Yolanda are two walls and a cargo of scattered bathroom fittings from a wreck that slid off in 1980. It is a strange and excellent dive.

The last dive is on day seven deliberately — you do not fly within twenty-four hours of diving.

“Reefs and islands, with the marine park fees always included”
A dive and snorkel operator that publishes marine park fees in the headline price because hiding them is how the industry got its reputation.
Kit was in good condition, which matters more than people realise. Rooms were basic in the best way — dry, warm, and right where we needed them. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Great few days in the water. Briefings were clear and nobody was pushed beyond their level. Solid operator.
Instruction was patient — I came in nervous and finished wanting to book the next level. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.

Visibility was excellent and the boat ran on time every morning. The teahouses were warm and the beds were fine after eight hours walking. Good value for what's included.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
No, and neither should anyone recreational. The Arch is at fifty-six metres, well beyond recreational limits, and the memorial plaques on the cliff above it are for people who tried. This trip does the Bells entry and the wall at thirty, which is the good dive anyway.
