Can you reach deep water for swimming and snorkeling from the submerged pontoon at Dahab Lagoon?

From messages by 5 participants in 2 sources · Last activity: today

TL;DR

Yes. At Dahab Lagoon, the submerged pontoon can provide access to deeper water outside low tide; near the buoys, a 170 cm-tall swimmer cannot touch the bottom, and it is possible to duck-dive a couple of metres beneath the pontoon.

What the community said

The submerged pontoon at Dahab Lagoon has benches and bins. At normal water level it is roughly chest-deep on the pontoon, while near the buoys the water is deeper than a 170 cm-tall swimmer.

For a brief duck-dive, swimmers have gone about a couple of metres beneath the pontoon without water getting into their gear. Check the current access setup, as a plastic pontoon may also be used to reach deeper water.
