BBC Travel – An alternative to Sharm El Sheikh

Dahab: The independently-minded beach resort
Dahab, a Bedouin village approximately 80km northeast of Sharm el Sheik, has grown from a scruffy hippy hangout into a mellow tourism centre that is one of the Sinai’s most treasured diving destinations. For beginners, Dahab offers an enticing mix of superb shallow, shore-accessed dives and plenty of fellow novices to share a beer with afterwards. More advanced divers will be lured to the challenge of the Blue Hole dive site just north of town….

Luxury Liveaboards from Dahab

Cruising warm blue waters, diving on remote uncrowded reefs and being the first on a wreck, doing all this three or four times a day and never more than a few feet from your hotel room…

Welcome to Black Rock Liveaboards

We offer various itineraries and durations, from two nights aboard to over a week, covering an impressive choice of Northern and Southern Red Sea routes including Ras Mohammed, Thistlegorm and Straits of Tiran plus Sha’ab Abu Nuhas, Ras Abu Galum and Ras Mumlah.

With measurements of 26M by 6.7M our top of the range vessel is kept in perfect condition, with spacious en-suite cabins that can sleep up to eight guests and a stylish lounge all fully equipped with air-conditioning and WIFI.

Why our liveaboards are different

Our liveaboards depart from the Dahab jetty, avoiding the crowded jettys of Sharm El Sheikh and the arduous journey over land.

Don’t want to do a whole week on a boat? We offer shore/boat combo holidays ideal for you to take advantage of both whilst giving you the opportunity to participate in other activities Dahab has to offer.

Have a partner that doesn’t dive? The journey is just as spectacular above the water and most sites are great for snorkeling.

Windsurfing is also an option,  so if your partner windsurfs or you want to do a dive/windsurf combo then the schedule will suit your needs and visit the outer lagoons that are ideal for flat water planing.

You will be joined by Black Rock instructors for your journey who are highly experienced with the dive sites you will encounter ensuring that you are well looked after and get the most out of your dives.

The boat crew are exceptionally helpful making sure you are comfortable before and after your dives and keeping the vessel at tip top condition throughout the trip.

The vast amount of delicious food catered for you on the boat includes homemade breads, soups, cakes plus a hot drink will be awaiting you after a night dive to warm you up. Three full meals are served everyday with unlimited snacks and drinks available throughout the trip.

With only accommodating a maximum of eight people and two dive guides you are guaranteed not to be overcrowded above or below the water.

With the flexibility of chartering our own trips the itinerary is up to you and other guests so you can always revisit a previous favourite site or venture to somewhere new.

Ideal for groups, families, couples and single divers.

Dining under the stars……

Our unique barbeques are catered by the local Bedouins (including Gemo!) who inhabit the mountains of Dahab.

We take a  short journey away from civilisation by jeep or, for the more adventurous, by camel through the mountain valley to the Bedouin camp. With relaxing seating areas, toilet and campfire you’re in more than comfortable surroundings to indulge in the delicious local cuisine suitable for any palette.

Once you’ve eaten you can participate in a walk through the canyon by candlelight or just relax whilst gazing up at the spectacular starlit skies.
