Lionfish Rock

Lionfish Rock is the first dive site in the Southern Oasis, in the south of Dahab, and can only be dived in calm conditions. The dive passes small pinnacles scattered across a large clearing, a unique setting for Dahab.

Among the blocks there are masses of red tooth triggers, cleaner shrimps, morays, nudibranchs and, as the name suggests, plenty of lionfish. Around a coral block, anthias, anemonefish and giant morays drift by. During the safety stop at that block you can watch glassfish and flatworms and, if you are lucky, turtles or the occasional eagle ray.
