I never thought in a million years I would ever scuba dive, let alone think my first experience would be in Egypt. We dived with Mirage Divers in Dahab, which are known for being one of the best diving companies in the country. Dahab is a small, laid-back, beach town on the southeast coast of the Sinai Peninsula and only an hours drive from Sharm el-Sheikh. It’s the perfect place to relax for a few days and to ‘get happy’.
Every year, Dahab attracts thousands of tourists and backpackers looking to dive and snorkel in the Red Sea - an inlet of the Indian Ocean between Africa and Asia. Bordering the countries of Saudi Arabia and Yemen on the east side. Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Djibouti on the west side. The Red Sea has some of the clearest waters in the world with incredible, untouched, healthy coral and marine life.
The whole experience was incredible. We saw endless tropical fish and stingrays in just one 45 minute dive. I also cannot praise Mirage Divers enough. The trainers were incredibly thorough, professional, patient and fun! I couldn’t have had this unforgettable experience without them!
