about the diving
For advanced technical diving training or for the simple purpose of having a good time, Dahab offers a variety of dive sites (reached by car) with easy access to greater depth with clear, warm water and beautiful scenery! Almost everyone knows the famous Blue Hole and its Arch which you can cross at a minimum of 55m or even exit to the outer wall at 130m. It’s for sure a spectacular site which changes its atmosphere depending on the depth you dive it at but let me tell you there is so much more to see! You can do 130m on the drop off of The Bells and still don’t see the bottom or explore one of the many canyons – there is even a 1.5 km system ranging between 40m and 60m (some parts even deeper) which is basically made for CCR diving – or just enjoy the corals and the great viz!
our partners in the country
Team Blue Immersion operating via Dahab Divers Technical is located in Dahab, Egypt and dedicated to technical diving only.
The Dive Centre is located at the Lighthouse bay in walking distance to the water entrance. The dive area consists of a big sea grass field with a buoyancy park and lines from up to 40m depth for simulated decompression training. After an 8 min swim you reach a reef where you can do decompression dives down to 60m depth.
The Lighthouse bay combined with the close position of the diving facility makes it a perfect set-up for a relaxed training environment without any stress to catch a boat or to hurry up/wait for other groups. Therefore, we are happy to share and facilitate other fellow technical diving instructors/Dive Centers with their groups from around the world!
The facility is equipped with:
- Oxygen/Helium booster
- Bauer Compressor
- Oxygen/Helium analyzers
- Workshop with all main tools needed for servicing equipment
- Twin sets (from 10L – 20L; mainly 11l aluminum)
- Sidemount tanks with opposite valves
- 2L and 3L CCR sets
- Stage cylinders (6L and 11L aluminum) and rigging kits
- Oxygen, Helium and Sofnolime stock
- rental equipment
- Cameras
- 2 classrooms with aircon/fan
- Equipment room and lockers
- Free water/coffee/tea at the dive center
when we normally go
The winter months are the best time to visit Dahab for us, although diving is great year round. Water temperatures stay high, rarely dropping below mid 20 degrees until you get quite deep, even then, it’s still warm for sure!
