The Islands

Wow! :)

Situated about only 5 minutes from Mirage Divers at the beginning of the sand strip of the lagoon of Dahab.

The entrance of the Islands is marked by a white sign on the shore and it is best dived at high tide as you need to cross a wide reef platform.
At low tide and calm sea you can see a small reef island just offshore and that’s where it got its name from.

We start the dive by swimming through a series of shallow pools 7-10 meters deep with a sandy bottom, surrounded by amazing hard coral formations. Then your guide will aim to get you lost through a labyrinth of rich colourful reef. After a sensory overload dive we wind our way around the "island" back to our entry/exit point.

Schools of yellowtail barracuda, groupers, lionfish, napoleon wrasse and much much more we should be able to see, and we might bump into a guitar shark if luck is on our side..
