Eel Garden

Only 300 meters away from the Diving Center!

Eel Garden got the name because of the huge population of Garden Eels and it is a "must dive" when you are in Dahab.
It is only about 300 meters to the north of Mirage Divers in the Assallah bay.

Plan your dive here at high tide and calm sea conditions as there is a surface swim of approx 60 meters to start the dive. Descend to a small lagoon 2-3 meters deep from where we head north to a vast slope covered by light sand with hundreds of shy garden eels coming out of it waving with the water movement. We take a big tour around this huge sandy slope and on the way back with the reef on the right hand side we should be able to see one of the most stunning shallow reefs and marine life around, thanks to the shallow water and the sunlight through it..

Guidelines

• Better when it is high tide and calm sea conditions
• Possible strong current by the exit.
• Best between midday and afternoon.
• The Eels are very shy so take a slow approach.
