DAHAB
Dahab is located in the South Sinai and has some of the most spectacular dive sites in the world. It lies alongside the deepest section of the African rift, the giant crack in the earth's crust that formed the Red Sea.
Diving
Dahab is perched on the edge of the African Rift, the giant crack in the earth that originally formed the Red Sea and the Rift Valley. The huge and jagged mountains above Dahab descend at much the same angle below the water, to a depth of some 2000 metres. The resulting underwater landscape is spectacular, covered in valleys, canyons and caves.
The most famous dives in Dahab are the Blue Hole and the Canyon, which can be explored by sport divers to a depth of 30 metres, but there are countless other unique dive sites to explore further. Due to the slightly colder water, coral growth is quite different than in Sharm El Sheikh.
The dominant species are Acropora, Brain and Stonecoral, Leather and Blackcoral. Only occasionally you will come across Softcorals. Fish life is represented by the typical Red Sea Reefdwellers, Trigger and Surgeonfish, all kind of Groupers, Emperor and Parrotfish. With some luck you can observe Pelagius, such as Jackfish, Barracudas or even a Reef shark.

UTILA
Utila, the smallest of the Honduras Bay Islands, can be found on the western edge of the Caribbean Sea.
The island of Utila borders on the Mesoamerican barrier reef system, (the 2nd largest reef in the world after the Australian Great Barrier Reef), where you will discover some of the most beautiful beaches, coral reefs, and tropical island sunsets in the world.
Diving
With over 100 different scuba diving sites to choose from, including caves and numerous wrecks, sea mounts and ocean banks. The scuba diving is always interesting and never crowded. Utila is home to a large variety of marine environments which is the main factor contributing to the diversity of species found here.
The reef around Utila is home to all kinds of colorful tropical fish, corals, lobsters, sponges, eagle rays, sea horses, turtles and, for the more intrepid diver, the migrating whales.
It is actually one of the best places in the world to study the world's largest fish - whale shark research is an optional module on all our courses.
