Diving Centres in Dahab and Nuweiba

Dahab and Nuweiba are 70 km apart on the Sinai peninsular.

Dahab supports over 40 dive centres, and we have nearly all of them listed here. Is is very quiet this year, following the uprising. Dahab roughly comprises 4 areas: Dahab City in the south, Lagoona where the windsurfers congregate and Mashraba and Masbat where most of the dive centres are. Mashraba and Masbat are within walking distance of each other. Masbat is home to most of the shops and is busier. The dive centres very often have a hotel attached. The vast majority of the diving is shore based. If you do 10 dives it will cost you around 17 Euro per dive.

The nearest airport is Sharm El-Sheikh. See our Sharm flight page for airlines which fly there from Europe. See also our Dive Sites in Dahab page and Dahab Practicalities page for accomodation, getting there, travel agents, etc.

Rating: 5 stars

Named from the first 2 letters of owners' first names: Ingrid and Mohammed. One of the first dive centres in Dahab, established in 1988. Will pick you up from your hotel and provide childcare for you whilst you dive. Drive you up or down the coast to the dive site where you base yourself in a Bedouin cafe between dives. You can dive their house reef without a guide which is compulsary for most of the rest of the dive sites around Dahab. Highly recommended.

"Really friendly dive masters! 18 Euro per dive. GREAT dive sites!! Definitely recommend doing your advanced nitrox courses with them so you can dive the magnificent Blue Hole! Excellent value for money! Best place I have dived so far (havent been many places yet though). Dive centre linked with a hotel but be prepared for BUDGET accommodation. Salt water showers, suspiciously "clean" sheets. At only £6 per night, including the all-important air-conditioning, you can't really expect more. "

"I went to Dahab and stayed at Blue Beach Club Hotel which was amazing and has its own dive centre. However i got my open water PADI at Nesima dive centre with Gamal as my instructer. I would highly recommend this centre as the staff were all friendly and polite while enjoying their jobs. They have there own fresh water swimming pool which is unusual in Dahab, where you learn all the skills you need to go out into the Red Sea. When you are ready the dive instructors take you to some of the most beautiful dive sites in Dahab such as the Blue Hole, the Lighthouse (right in the middle of the main sea front) and of course the spectacular eel garden. I seriously urge you to go to Dahab and try the diving: it will blow your mind and I promise you once you've gone once you will want to go back again and again. "

"African Divers Nuweiba is a new diving centre, having openned in 2005. They teach both PADI and TDI courses, and offer daily diving on over 20 beautiful dive sites close to their location. The owners / managers, Daniel and Sarah are very friendly, professional and experienced, and were at first hand experience both excellent guides and instructors. Their Divemasters and other staff are highly trained, funny and excellent to dive and learn with. I was impressed with the emphasis they placed on the safety and enjoyment of their guests at all times. They also have a full range of Mares dive equipment for rental or to buy, which I found easy to use and in excellent condition. The diving in Nuweiba was more beautiful than I had imagined when I booked my holiday. The coral was both varied and unbroken, and I saw more marine life than in my previous holidays to Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada. I was fortunate enough to see numerous octopus, turtles, nudibranches and even a pair of pegasus on one dive. On a night dive I saw a huge (1.5m) leopard ray. Their pricing is fair and cheap (you pay 200 Euro for a 5 day diving package), and excellent value for the service provided. I had a suite in the Swisscare Hotel, which was excellent value for money and a wonderful experience. I will definately be returning as soon as I can book more time off of work! "
Christian Vohl, Germany
 

"I was welcomed at the diving center by the owners Sarah and Daniel, who were extremely friendly, cool, and excellent divers! The center was clean and spacious, with its own Nitrox and Trimix filling station and technical diving equipment. The bounty of rental equipment was new and well-maintained.
I was able to do 5 days of diving for under $250 - with unlimited dive time and with incredibly competent guides. I was surprised and delighted to be the only dive group in the water at the many pristine and fantastic reefs around Nuweiba. The service was personal and diving can be geared towards any level of diver.
I am positive that I will be diving with ADN again! and soon! I can't wait to begin technical dive training on my next holiday.
This is the best diving center I've ever dived with. At the end of my trip, I felt like I had made some real friends and had the experience of a lifetime.
