Stories from beneath the surface. Reflections on a life lived underwater. Notes from a diver who has called Dahab home since 1983.
After more than a decade of diving the Blue Hole almost daily, I recently crossed a milestone that made me pause and reflect - one thousand dives at this single site. Here is what the hole has taught me.
My family opened Shark Restaurant in 1983, making us one of the first families to settle in Dahab. For decades, I welcomed guests at our table. Then something called me beneath the surface.
When the sun sets over the Sinai mountains and the last light fades from the water, a different world awakens. Night diving in Dahab reveals creatures and colors that daytime visitors never see.

Writing about diving is almost as hard as diving itself. The sea speaks a language that does not translate well to words. But I keep trying, because some stories deserve to be told.

Hello! I am the website's guide, not Osama himself. Ask about his story, the courses, Dahab's dive sites or the trips. For anything to arrange, I will point you to him on WhatsApp.
