Lighthouse

The Lighthouse dive site is situated at the northern end of Dahab Bay it’s a popular dive site as with its gradually sloping sandy bottom its perfect for all levels of training but also a great dive site for those just wanting a swim around. Entries and exits are easily accessible and the site is normally always sheltered from the wind.
The dive site lends itself to a buoyancy park for training and some underwater props and statutes have been erected here – most magnificently is an Elephant made up of old junk

As you head out over the sand you will find seagrass covering the sloping bottom, swim slowly and search for seahorses and seamoths in this area, they are usually found in pairs. On the left you will come across a reef wall, follow this northward and you will come across large pinnacles covered in corals and full of marine life.
There is a resident turtle found here in the summer months and it is common to see unicorn fish, seabream, morays, napoleon and rays around the dive site. Continue past the towering pinnacles until you come to the saddle where you will find a large fan coral and a lovely coral garden. Ascending to make your way back to your entry point you will find yourself in a small lagoon type area where you are likely to find crocodile fish laying on the sand.
Heading south on the dive site it is mainly sandy areas until you reach Mashraba dive site.
This site is definitely a site you should do more than once at different depths and directions
