关于 Gabr el Bint

Gabr el Bint, meaning 'The Grave of the Girl' in Arabic, stands out as one of North Sinai's most captivating dive destinations. Located approximately 7.5 kilometers south of The Caves and 15 kilometers from Dahab, its relative remoteness has preserved its pristine condition. Divers often reach this outer reef by boat from Dahab, a journey of about 50 minutes, or less frequently by 4x4 or camel. Two distinct dive profiles define the site. The right side features a steep wall that plunges to around 60 meters, showcasing numerous chasms, overhangs, and healthy table corals. On the left, the reef unfolds into a vibrant landscape, dense with massive boulders and a virtual forest of gorgonian fan corals. Dives here typically involve descending to 20-25 meters, then ascending to a shallower saddle at about 10 meters before traversing a sandy ledge. The site also includes a shallow, enclosed lagoon where depths can be as little as 5 meters, as well as a 'baby Blue Hole' and a crack canyon. Marine life is abundant and diverse, attracted by the exquisite coral heads. Expect to encounter swarms of anthias, parrotfish, crocodilefish, surgeonfish, and triggerfish. Turtles, stingrays, and black and white snappers are common sightings, with schools of snappers often found between 5 and 10 meters. Lucky divers might spot eagle rays, tuna, or even occasional sharks in the water column, while octopuses, squid, and milk fish inhabit the shallow lagoon. The site offers drift and wall diving elements, accommodating various skill levels, with depths ranging from 5 to 40 meters. It is considered suitable for divers from beginner to advanced, allowing for depth selection based on training. Boat entry is standard, with options for exploring both sides of the reef.

条件与水流

Gabr el Bint偶尔会有水流，尤其是在有风的情况下，这造就了其充满活力的珊瑚礁结构。水面状况受中等风速影响，全年风速通常在19-24公里/小时之间，可能产生高达0.8米的海浪。船潜是主要入水方式，由于盛行水流，潜水可能包含放流元素。能见度通常极佳，可以清晰地看到生机勃勃的珊瑚礁，但没有详细的温跃层数据。该潜点多样的地形和放流潜水的可能性意味着潜水员需要适应多变的条件，但能够选择5到40米的深度，使其适合各种持证级别的潜水员。
