    Dahayla North is one of those easy Dahab shore dives we often roll out of bed for, a relaxed start to the day. The site is a sandy slope scattered with coral blocks, mostly stony corals and some striking fluorescence grass coral. You’ll spot a good mix of smaller reef fish like rusty parrotfish and blacktail butterflyfish, with sergeant-majors always milling about. It's a nice, calm dive, great for getting back in the water or for divers who want to take their time looking for the smaller stuff like granulated drupes without battling a current.
