Blue Hole is one of the most famous dive sites in Dahab. It is a spectacular, but somewhat dangerous site which is recommended for advanced divers. The Blue Hole is a sinkhole (a kind of cave), around 130m/426ft deep. There is a shallow opening around 6m/19ft deep, known as “the saddle”, leading to the sea, and a 26m/85ft long tunnel, known as “the arch”, the top of which lies at a depth of 52m/170ft. The hole itself and the surrounding areas are rich with corals and marine life.
