Dive Site: Lighthouse
Location: Dahab, 28°29.944N; 34°31.182E
Description: Reef / shore / night dive
Depth: 15 metres (50 feet) - 35 metres max (115 feet)
Visibility: 15 - 30 metres (50 - 100 feet)
Rating: ****
The Lighthouse is so called as it is located near Dahab's lighthouse. Entrance is from the busy beach area, so it is important that you stow your belongings away rather then leaving them on the shore during your dive. On entrance look out for the frogfish located within the rope for the swimming area, they are always found in this location apparently!
The dive site follows the reef round, with pinnacles and reefs providing a good variety of life, we found a large octopus, morays, red sea walkman, crocodile fish and the usual assortment of fishies.
It also makes a nice shore dive at night. Very peaceful and quiet reef with all the beautiful reds that you don't see during the day. Fish out hunting included lionfish, squirrelfish and octopus and there were lots of fans and urchins. The last five minutes of the dive was done without torches to see the phosphorescence. We dived in full suits to avoid any scratches and stings from the unseen!
