    Light House is one of those Dahab sites that feels like coming home. It’s right there in town, super easy to access, and perfect for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re doing a skills refresh or just fancy a chilled afternoon out. We often see folks spotting an African eel blenny poking its head from the sandy bottom, and the thin birdsnest coral offers shelter to smaller critters. We’ve had a few lucky encounters with bottlenose dolphins here, which is always a treat, though it’s never a guarantee. It’s a great spot for newer divers, or when you just want a straightforward, enjoyable dive without the fuss.
