Lighthouse Reef is Dahab's most popular dive site thanks to its central location in Masbat Bay, easy entry, and wind protection. The site begins with a shallow sandy area that gradually slopes into a grassy field where you can spot seahorses and pegasus seamoths. Always sheltered from the wind, diving is possible here in any conditions. Perfect for all levels from training beginners to night diving. Look for rare anglerfish and paired pegasus in the sandy areas.
Access through dive centers on the promenade. Price includes basic snorkeling gear. Many dive centers offer house reef diving packages. Great cafe scene along the waterfront with reef views
Anytime! Always sheltered from wind. Early morning or sunset for best light and fewer crowds. Night diving here is excellent
