Angels net

Angels net is a dive site in Red Sea, Middle East.

Overview

Angels Net is a dive site at coordinates 29.384°N, 34.820°E, placing it in the Gulf of Aqaba on the Sinai coast, approximately 60 km north of Dahab and south of Nuweiba — in the stretch of coastline between Dahab and Nuweiba / Taba. This is a quieter section of the Sinai Red Sea coast with hard coral reef systems in good condition. The Gulf of Aqaba is characterised by extremely clear water (visibility often 30+ m), steep reef walls, and a diverse reef community. The site name “Angels Net” does not appear in major English-language dive databases for the Nuweiba / Dahab region, suggesting it may be a locally used name or one of the many smaller unnamed or informally named sites along this stretch.
