StandoutDramatic cave topography

Canyon Dekel South is a decent intermediate dive if you're looking for something a bit different in Aqaba. It’s not a deep dive, topping out around 22 meters, but it’s the canyon itself that draws you in. You’ll be navigating through some tight squeezes, keeping an eye out for lionfish tucked into crevices and the occasional moray eel peering out. It’s a good option for divers who appreciate a bit of overhead environment without going full cave. Just make sure your buoyancy is dialed in; some sections are narrower than you might expect.
