Introduction

The Blue Hole at Dahab is a famed sinkhole on the Red Sea coast of Sinai, its water a dreamlike deep blue with vertical walls dropping past 100 metres. A pilgrimage for divers worldwide, yet nicknamed the 'divers' graveyard' for its depth and narcosis — an extreme sea where thrill meets beauty. The shore platform is the snorkel and free-dive launch; only seasoned divers attempt the deep arch.
