About this experience

If you've always wanted to try scuba diving, Dahab's calm, shallow house reef is one of the best places on earth to start. After a short briefing and a confined-water session to get comfortable breathing underwater, your instructor takes you on a guided reef dive to around 6 metres. No certification or experience required — just the ability to swim. It's the most popular first step for travellers who fall in love with the Red Sea.
