Yup - Dive at Lotta's place - Seven Heaven Hotel

www.lottaericson.com

excellent for freediving and ok for scuba as far as I know

very friendly and very cheap - photos are in my gallery

hi pepper,

check out Lucie's recent article on Dahab here:

http://www.deeperblue.net/article.php/587/16

she makes a few dive center suggestions, and would definitely give
you more recommendations if you e-mail her directly.

I use to work in Dahab.. some suggestions

Nessima: More expensive, lovely breakfast, nice swimming pool, a lot of french people. CMAS center also.

ORCA: I love this guys! TDI facility... if you fancy trimix in blue hole... contact them....

Divers Down Under: Peter Dive Center... many koreans and japanese people. But nice, in the center of the bay.

Sinai Divers: you have 2 options, backpackers, near the bridge... near Divers Down Under... or in the Hilton. In the Hilton (I use to work there...) is more expensive, has a little dive site in front of the hotel. (quite crap...) But the Dive Center is really ok.

mmm what else...

Nirvana is nice people....

You can also go to Francois in Red Club... great guy (the manager)... nice location... if you go you have to eat in the restaurant in front.. ask for chicken and pineapple sandwish...

Also Dessert Diver ... you can also do a Freediver lesson with Roland there...

Any way, hope it helps... be carefull with Dahab.. i went for 3 days... I stay there... 8 months.

I can agree that you end up staying longer than expected !!! I came to Dahab to dive with Desert Divers for three weeks and am now staying another 5 months Its run by Bedouins, amazing people, and the centre is awesome
Definitely recommend diving with them!!!!

For a wicked adventure holiday, desert divers is the place !!!! :king
Diving, camel dive safari, bit of rock climbing, yoga and freediving all rolled into one ...
.... and the cool thing about it is that you sit around in the wadi and meet some fantastic people, very social.
check out the website, some good photos on there !!!!!!!!!!
