Just a note to say thank you to those who continue to support us in Dahab, Egypt.

It means a lot to us that you’re still visiting and we fully understand those that may want to wait before returning.

Dahab is still it’s laid back bohemian self and we are still open, and unless the situation gets any worse we will remain to do so. Keep calm and DIVE ON!

People may not think of the Aegean Sea as a top diving destination, but we believe it’s a treasure waiting to be discovered…

On just about any dive, there’s a chance you’ll come across some artifacts. This is what makes diving in Greece unique, it’s like an impromptu archeological adventure every time you slip into the water. There’s also considerable life in the seas. There’s the chance you’ll find groupers, turtles and even dolphins, but your best bet for marine life is to slow down and think small. The Aegean has a wonderful collection of nudibranchs, invertebrates, crabs, shrimp, eels, seahorses and other easily overlookable stealth critters. Don’t forgo the diving once the sun goes down, however. Night diving is particularly interesting because that’s when cuttlefish, conger eels and octopi venture out of their daytime lairs.

More photos by Richard Keaney will be frequently added to our album Keaneys Critters

Having worked in Dahab for years, two young windsurfers clubbed together their savings and bought themselves a little token of paradise. A place to laydown after a long day of waterplay. This one token soon turned into two when they realised how often friends, family and strangers (soon to be friends) were requesting rooms. And that’s as far as the story goes; so far.

Check these guys out if you want the luxury of your own apartment when visiting, Tiberius gets a special mention……!

You’ll find a wide variety of diving in the Aegean Sea including walls, caverns and reefs habiting the beautiful red Mediterranean corals. There’s the chance you’ll find groupers, turtles and even dolphins, but your best bet for marine life is to slow down and think small. The Aegean has a wonderful collection of nudibranchs, invertebrates, crabs, shrimp, eels, seahorses and other easily overlookable stealth critters.

There is easy access at both islands for diving, with boat and shore diving available and a range of sites that are suitable for both beginner and advanced divers.
