Plongée à Dahab — Egypt
Dahab is the anti-Sharm — a dusty Bedouin town that happens to sit on some of the Red Sea's best shore diving. The Blue Hole's 130m vertical shaft is infamous in freediving circles, but the Canyon and Lighthouse sites offer world-class reef diving at Egypt's cheapest prices.
