Canyon Dihab Sinai " Goa
of the Red Sea"
Next to Blue Hole, The Canyon is Dahabs most talked about site,
and easily one of Sinais most interesting dives. The Canyon lies about three
miles north of Assalah, and to reach it you snorkel off the beach, through a large
coral lagoon, then veer left upon hitting the open sea. Coming into view is The
Canyon, which begins with a large rock head cloven by a fissure. Descend down
to the rock and follow the fissure until you find the wide entrance. Passing through
entrance, divers find themselves surrounded by the teeming life and rich contours
of The Canyons walls. Strict attention should be paid to depth, as the floor
can reach a perilous 180 ft. After exiting The Canyon, dive back to the entrance
(if you have the air left) and check-out "the fishtank," a large coral
bowl bursting with small fish.
