  • Eel Garden is a dive spot in Dahab, Egypt, where there is a colony of garden eels. They retreat into the sand when they sense danger, but show themselves when they feel safe, and they move with the currents.
    Cath4dive is a professional freediver and model, living and teaching diving and freediving in Dahab. You can find her here: / cath4dive
