Dahab Dive Centres: Every One on the Register (2026)

Every dive centre the Chamber of Diving and Water Sports lists as registered in Dahab. Membership is compulsory for an Egyptian dive centre, so unlike our Green Fins pages this is not a selection: it is the whole set, and a business missing from it is missing from the regulator's own list. Not a ranking, not a recommendation, and no operator paid to be listed.

47 centres on the register on 2026-08-15 · 47 listed as Active · 1 also in the voluntary Green Fins register.

Every dive centre the Chamber of Diving and Water Sports lists as registered in Dahab, read on 15 August 2026. This page has a different basis from our other dive lists and a stronger one: CDWS membership is not voluntary. An Egyptian dive centre must be registered with the chamber to trade, so unlike a Green Fins list this is not a selection, it is the whole set. What it does not give you is depth: the register publishes no website for its members, so there is no training agency to read and no instructor languages to quote, and those columns are honestly empty rather than filled from somewhere else. All 47 were listed as Active on the day we read them.

What this page does and does not tell you

A licence is not a quality rating. A membership number says the business is registered to trade. It says nothing about how it dives, how many divers it puts on a guide, or how it treats the reef. That is what the Green Fins column is for, and only 1 of these 47 are in it.

Why the other columns are empty. The register publishes no website for its members, so there is no training agency to read and no instructor languages to quote. We would rather leave those blank than fill them from a search result. On our other pages those fields come from the operator's own site, read and dated.

The labels themselves are explained on how we check an operator.

Corrections and removals. If you run one of these centres and a field is wrong, write to us with the document and we will correct it and date the correction. We do not charge for a listing, for its position, or for its removal.
What this page is, and is not. This is independent research, written by the operator of this site and not reviewed by a lawyer. It is not a substitute for training, and listing an operator is not a safety endorsement: we have not dived with these businesses, inspected their equipment or watched their briefings. Diving carries risk that no register removes. Where this page mentions cover it is not insurance advice: we state only that no public register exists, which is a fact about registers, not about any operator’s policy. Every field carries the date it was checked; verify anything that matters with the operator and the authority before you rely on it.
