Depth: 2-54 m

 Level: Suitable For All Levels

The Canyon is one of the most popular dive sites in Dahab and an essential dive for all fanatics of caves and cavern diving.

The Canyon is up to 10m deep and virtually closed over at the top.

It snakes its way up from the depths, to emerge in a large glassfish-filled coral dome, the Fishbowl.

After the shore entry, you cross a sandy lagoon that opens onto a gently sloping reef marked with coral heads.

The amazing canyon soon comes into view. It has three main openings. At about 12m is the fishbowl. Below that is another large bowl, opening at about 20m.

Deepest of all is a narrow exit at 52-54m.

In between these openings the walls have grown together to virtually close over the top of the canyon, forming a tunnel. From the top it has the appearance of the fluted mouth of a clam shell.

Note the light coming through the crack that forms the entry of the Canyon while you sit in semi-darkness, it is an amazing sight!

Technical Divers can follow the Canyon all the way through to the exit where it spits you out at 54m, then continue dropping down to ‘Neptune’s Chair’ – looks like a giant throne made of rock at 73m.

Behind this there is a cave, it goes back around 15-20m, with a max depth of 75m. Take a torch! It’s a dead end so no need to lay line or anything.
