Beacon Point

Dahab de Nous isn't your typical flat reef dive. We love this site for its topography alone, a real maze of five distinct pinnacles just off the main reef. The dive becomes an adventure, navigating through a series of narrow canyons and faults that connect each one. You’ll spend a lot of time feeling the cool, shadowed rock walls as you squeeze between formations. Our favourite part is the long tunnel leading to the final pinnacle. It’s pierced by shafts of light, creating an almost theatrical effect as you swim through – watch for the flashes of silvery fusiliers darting in and out of the brightness. Keep an eye out for the big, colourful gorgonians that are just everywhere here; they’re truly magnificent and offer great shelter for smaller critters. While the max depth is 21m, which makes it pretty accessible, there's always a chance of jacks or tuna cruising past in the blue, especially if the current is picking up. We’d suggest this one for divers who enjoy exploration and a bit of a scenic swim-through challenge.
