Description:

Golden Blocks is a dive site that has everything. It is a mix between coral gardens and sandy areas with almost all coral species represented. It has a coral slope with three sandy alleys in it. The first one starts at 10 m and drops down to 30-40 m. Here we have Dahab`s only "real wreck" a paddle boat at 20 m. Second slope is like a small canyon with a beautiful little island of corals. At the third slope you will find an impressive gorgonian fan at 22 m and beside it a small cave. Shallower you have sandy areas with the "Golden Blocks". These are large coral blocks that go from 10 m to the surface and are covered with anthias. Also in the shallower part you have beautiful table corals and small coral blocks where there is always a good chance to find big groupers or colourful nudibranches. There have also been sightings of manta rays in this area. This is a site that can be dived by all divers whether you like small or big things. It can also be recommended to do drift dives to Moray Garden.
