The Canyon (Dahab) — dive site guide
Also known as The Canyon, the Fish Bowl
The Canyon (Dahab) is a cavern and swim-through site at Dahab north, on the Gulf of Aqaba coast of Sinai. A protected-area notice reports that exiting the Canyon through the Fish Bowl is no longer allowed — dive it as an in-and-out. The deepest documented point is around 55 m — its deeper parts are beyond recreational limits. Independent guides rate it intermediate, with moderate current at times. Marine-life reports await review.
Documented site depths are not a recommended dive depth. Your dive plan stays within your certification limit and takes account of conditions and experience. Read our safety information.
