- Lynw's trip Dahab June 2012
2012-06-05 - The Canyon, Dahab, Egypt
18.3m - 38 min - Dived with Samy from Lagona Divers Dahab
Great Dive, Water Temp Ideal 24degree C Canyon dive site, Good shore entry, Access to the site is via a shallow lagoon average depth of 3meters, just outside the lagoon a large trunk like pinnacle marks the entry and exit point . The dive site takes its name from a long and narrow canyon running north to south to a depth of 52m. The entry to the canyon is marked by a large coral mound a man sized hole leading into the the fish bowl used to mark the entry to the canyon however this is now closed to preserve this feature as the number of divers has begun to put the delicate coral structure at risk so entry is now made further down the canyon at around 20m. We didn't entry the Canyon but explored the coral gardens around the canyon. The Bubbles rising from the sand from within the canyon were an interesting feature of the dive.
Great Dive just off the shore from the hotel and dive centre. Access off the steps from the pier. Giant stride entry.
Canyon to Tropital House reef.
Great reef. Entry is a gentle walk in from shore into a small lagoon. gentle decent down to a sloping wall of coral. good variety of fish and corals.
Wonderful dive. Stated our decent in the bells a small slot in the reef table north of the Blue hole. We then exited the Bells at around 17 meters and then slowly ascended as we followed the vertical wall south towards the saddle of the blue hole. We then entered the blue hole and followed the left side of the blue hole wall towards our exit point at Blue hole.
