See Freediving Courses and Freediving Training for more details on the different courses and training options.

● Lighthouse
The Lighthouse diving area is conveniently located in the centre of Dahab. A protected bay that slopes gently from the beach makes it an ideal training site for freedive training in depths up to 40m, with an easy shore entry/exit. Restaurants and amenities line the seafront promenade and are the perfect places to relax and make new friends after your diving.

● Blue Hole
Dahab is home to the famous Blue Hole located a thirty minute drive to the north. It is a prehistoric sinkhole some 90m deep next to the shore. Protected from waves and currents by the beautiful reef wall, it is the perfect site for deeper training. At 56m you can see the spectacular Arch, a huge submarine tunnel 26m in length and dropping to the bottom of the Blue Hole itself. At the far side of the Blue Hole is ‘the saddle’, a beautiful coral garden where the reef drops to around 6m deep opening out to the sea.
