This dive site, known as Lands End, is a 'secret' location in Dahab, Egypt, situated directly opposite a headland. Divers typically navigate along a reef stretching west from the headland, reaching a prominent and vibrant reef block after approximately 25 minutes of dive time. The site is characterized by its accessible depths and rich marine ecosystem, making it a local favorite for its thriving biodiversity rather than historical significance.
The main attraction is a magnificent reef block teeming with marine life. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of glass fish, juvenile barracudas, and well-camouflaged scorpion fish. The site is particularly rich in smaller creatures, including countless shrimps, and is also home to a resident huge Porcupine fish, along with various other reef inhabitants and diverse coral formations.
The best time to visit Lands End for diving and freediving is generally year-round, benefiting from Dahab's consistent clear waters and pleasant climate. Its shallow average depth of 9 meters and rich macro life make it ideal for both beginner divers and underwater photographers focused on small subjects. Freedivers will appreciate the manageable depths and abundance of marine life for extended bottom time and observation.
