The Blue Hole, is a diving hole on the coast of the Red Sea, located in eastern Sinai, a few kilometers north of Dahab, Egypt.
It is about 130 m (462.5 ft) deep, with a shallow opening about 6 m wide, known as the "saddle", an opening to the sea, and a 26 m long tunnel, known as the "arch", 56 m (184 ft) deep. The area surrounding the hole has an abundance of coral, reefs, and fish.
Professional divers find themselves particularly drawn to the sight of the arch that connects the Blue Hole to the open sea. Indeed, the entire site represents a wonder in itself, as the sights of light formations and marine plant and animal life leave unforgettable memories in the visitor’s soul. The Blue Hole is considered one of the most enjoyable beach diving activities because of the charming scenes available in this spot where the mountain meets the sea water.
Many refer to the area by another name, which is “Divers’ Cemetery”, due to the deadly mazes it contains inside. The cave has a deceptive appearance as it appears to be less deep than it is in reality, so it requires high training and appropriate equipment, and what attracts divers greatly is what it is called. The “Arc” connects the Blue Hole with the open sea, where there are views of light formations and wonderful marine plant and animal life. The Blue Hole is considered one of the most enjoyable beach diving activities due to the charming scenes available in this spot.
