Gabr el Bint Liveaboard Dive Site

Gabr el Bint is a reef dive in Dahab, Egypt, within an area known for shoreline walls, canyons and blue-water topography. The precise entry point and route depend on current, weather and the cruise director’s assessment, so an itinerary reference should not be treated as a guarantee that every departure will dive the site.

The most productive side of the reef changes with the water movement. Divers should remain close to the guide, control their depth and be prepared for a negative entry or blue-water pickup where the briefing requires it.

A liveaboard is the practical way to combine this site with several dives across Dahab. Carry a surface marker buoy, follow the boat’s current and pickup procedures and use nitrox only when qualified and after analysing the cylinder. Wildlife encounters and visibility vary naturally and cannot be guaranteed.

Other sites in this part of the itinerary include Blue Hole and Canyon of Dahab. Compare Egypt liveaboards and review the Egypt liveaboard destination guide before choosing an itinerary.

The Gabr el Bint dive site in Egypt is visited by four dive liveaboards. The highest customer-rated liveaboard scores 9.6 out of 10. Prices across these liveaboards start from £92.00.
