Dahab is a cornerstone of Red Sea diving, known for its unique coastal topography and legendary sites. Located on the Sinai Peninsula, it offers a different atmosphere from the larger resort towns, focusing on fringing reefs that drop away into deep, dramatic blue water.
Extra Divers has been a fixture in the Egyptian diving scene since 1998. As part of a much larger global network, the Dahab centre benefits from the stability and experience of a major operator while maintaining the individual flair required for the local diving environment.

They provide a structured environment for both recreational exploration and formal certification programmes. The staff is experienced in managing the logistics of a busy Red Sea dive centre, ensuring that the transition from shore to reef is handled professionally.
The centre offers a comprehensive range of training, catering to everyone from those taking their first breaths underwater to advanced divers. You can complete your initial qualifications here before progressing through more advanced levels.
Their curriculum includes a full suite of professional training, allowing you to move from basic certification through to more specialised skill sets. The focus remains on high-standard instruction to ensure you are prepared for the specific conditions found on the Red Sea reefs.
The Blue Hole is perhaps the most famous site in Dahab, offering a deep, vertical drop that attracts divers from around the globe. It is a site that requires respect and careful planning, particularly regarding depth management.
The Canyon provides a stunning underwater landscape of narrow passages and dramatic walls. It is a favourite for those looking to explore the unique geological formations that define the Dahab coastline.
