Southern Dahab > Hilton House Reef


Even the Shortfin Dwarf Lionfish has venomous dorsal spines





Description:

Kit up in the dive center and take a short walk to the beach in to the Dahab lagoon. It is the most perfect location for training in Dahab. A gradual sandy slope goes down to about 12 m, where it flattens out to an even platform. After going to the right you will find a small reef formation where if you look closely you can spot things like sea horses, nudibranchs and the rare shortfin dwarf lionfish. Undulate, peppered and yellow mouthed morays are abundant. Stone fish, scorpion fish and clown fish are also regularly seen. This can be a truly interesting dive for people who just want to look take a closer look for the smaller creatures of the Red Sea. If you are prepared to swim out a little further you have a good chance of spotting tuna and trevallies hunting on the schools of glass fish. Not long ago two manta’s were seen here on a daily base. Even a whale shark has made an appearance here in the past. In the moment we have been blessed over the past couple of months with a male & a female manta that have decided to make our house reef their home.
