Diving Dahab Part 3: The Caves.
One of the beautiful dive sites located south of Dahab (close to Happy Life Village Holet). The Caves is a slightly misleading name, as the 'cave' is in fact more of a large open-fronted overhang, or cavern under the reef table right off the shore. The caves can only be dived in calm conditions as jumping off the ledge can be quite tricky when there are waves crashing on the shore. There are three caves in the rock below and in front of the great rock formation thru wee Canyon there is a huge sandy slope which contains a good amount of eels at 30-35m.
Visibility 30-40 metres.
My dive:
Duration 55 mins.
Max Depth 32 m

Traveling Egypt and Diving the Red Sea
Egypt probably needs very little introduction, we all probably remember the great civilisation that it left us in school history books. The pyramids, the Sphinx, the great river Nile and in modern times the Suez canal, do I need to mention Cleopatra?
But what the text books didn't tell us was the amazing world class diving that Egypt has on its doorstep. The Red Sea rightly ranks up there as one of the must dive locations for any diver. Be it beginners just starting their Open water diver to experienced Tec divers, Egypt and the Red Sea has something for you and more.

Red Sea Banner Fish
Video credit: Patricia Martin Cabrera United Arab Emirates)
Review: Abdel Rahman El Gamal (Founder of the video channel)
Source: fishconsult.org
This video was filmed at Ras Muhammad, Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) and is a small part of much longer video which was filmed is the premise of the British navy ship “Thistlegorm” which was built in 1940 and got sunk near Ras Muhammad (Red Sea – Egypt) where this video was filmed. Thistlegorm was attacked by German bomber planes on 6 October 1941 during the World War II.
This short video shows a single specimen of the Red Sea Bannerfish (Heniochus intermedius). This species is restricted to the Red Sea and the adjacent Gulf of Aden and is found at depths from 1-50 m. The utilization of the Red Sea Banner is mainly for the aquarium trade.
Although the “Banner fish” is a coral reef species, it feeds on zooplankton and benthic invertebrates. It is most often encountered alone or in pairs, but large aggregations are also found.
This species is characterized with two vertical black stripes on sides, anterior-most passing just behind the head and encompassing eye; soft dorsal, pectoral, anal, and caudal fins yellow; pelvic fins black.

DIVE SITES:
Ras Katy
Ras Katy is located at only few minutes from Travco Jetty, the main harbor of Sharm el Sheikh, and from where all our boats in Sharm are departing.
Is a very nice and easy shallow dive, ideal for the first dive in the Red Sea. It is ideal as well for night dives.
Temple
Just around the promontory of Ras Um Seid lies Temple dive site. Temple is so-named because here you will find three coral pillars resembling the columns of a classical temple. The pillars descend to a depth of 30m. Reef fauna commonly seen here include butterfly fish, parrot fish, bat fish and lionfish. You may also see a Napoleon Wrasse.
Ras Um Sid
Ras Umm Sid is the name of the promontory with a high lighthouse that marks the beginning of the Strait of Tiran on the western coast. The diving site, easily accessible by land, is immediately east of the lighthouse, opposite the famous Italian restaurant El-Fanar and the African Divers centre. It is renowned for the extraordinary proliferation of gorgonians (Subergorgia hicksoni) that create a veritable forest here, the most beautiful in all the northern Red Sea.
Shark & Jolanda Reef
Ras Mohammed is a peninsula of land jutting out into the Red Sea at the southernmost point of the Sinai Peninsula. Most of the Ras Mohammed Peninsula is, in fact, a raised reef plate, indicating that the sea level was once higher than it is today. In 1983 Ras Mohammed was given National Park status, the area the park covers was increased in 1989 to include much of the surrounding seas. There are some 1,000 species of fish and 150 species of coral to be found in the waters here, hence the need for preservation.
Dunraven - Beacon Rock
Built in Newcastle in 1873, this British steamer met her end in 1876 while bound for Bombay with a cargo of timber and cotton, which were lost in the ship wreck when the ship caught fire. She lies upside-down in 15 – 29.5 metres depth. The dive starts at the stern and takes you inside the hull where you can see Crocodilefish. You can also expect to see some groupers, Lionfish and schools of Glassfish. Above the bow you can enjoy a coral garden at 10 – 5 metres as you ascend from your dive.
Small Crack
Small Crack is a small break in the Sha’ab Mahmud reef system and is navigable by small dive boats only. The passage is 6m deep and 2-3m across with reef walls on both sides. Both hard and soft corals abound here – you can see Gorgonian fans, porites, salad coral and Acropora as well as anemones and their omni-present anemonefish. There is also a small eel garden at a depth of 19m and many species of reef fauna. Pelagic fish also frequent the site.
Wreck of the Thistlegorm
Lying some 31 miles from Sharm El Sheikh, the Thistlegorm is a popular site often visited by divers on day trips as well as liveaboard boats. Built in 1940, the Thistlegorm was a sizeable British transport ship. Early one morning in October 1941 while moored at Sha’ab Ali, she was struck by German bombers and sank. She was carrying a cargo of munitions, anti-tank mines, motorcycles, Bedford trucks, spare parts, tyres and medicines amongst other things for the British troops in North Africa. She lies at depths of between 16 and 33 metres and both the ship and her cargo are very well preserved, making her arguably the best wreck dive in the Red Sea. Not only you will you enjoy seeing a ship and cargo so amazingly intact, you will also see plenty of marine life in and around the vessel making the Thistlegorm, effectively, an artificial reef!
Thomas Reef
Believed to be one of the best dive sites in the northern Red Sea, only drift dives are possible here as there are no moorings. Here you will see a variety of corals including gorgonians, colonies of black coral and large Alcyonarians. It is possible to circumnavigate the entire reef on your dive, weather and currents, permitting. You can expect to see many reef fish including Angelfish and groupers as well as pelagic fish e.g. barracuda and the Whitetip Reef Shark.
