Blue Hole Dahab Dive Site — Egypt

About Blue Hole Dahab

The infamous Blue Hole of Dahab is a 130 m deep sinkhole right off the coast. For recreational divers, the Saddle at 6 m offers a connection to the open sea with a spectacular blue view into the abyss. The Arch at 56 m is an underwater passage to the open sea – reserved for technical divers only. The site is world-renowned for both its beauty and its tragic history.
