Create an itinerary including Blue Hole
Explore the deep at Blue Hole, rich in marine life but notorious for the dangers it poses. Not without reason, the spot has been termed "Diver's Cemetery" by many in the scuba diving community. Despite this, the hole attracts many keen divers, largely because of its easy accessibility (the sinkhole sits just offshore) and its main feature, a tunnel located 56 m (184 ft) below the surface--it leads to the open sea and presents a major challenge to experienced divers. Before you head to Dahab, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Dahab online travel route planner, to make sure you see all that Dahab has to offer, including Blue Hole.

  • Great place to snorkel and/or chill. They rent you snorkeling gear if you don’t have for just a couple of dollars. We didn’t scuba dive into ‘The Blue Hole’ we just snorkeled around and then sat and had some cold drinks. Highly recommend visiting when you are in Dahab.
  • Good dive site, did 2 dives here. Enjoyed the bells dive more than the Blue Hole dive. You can drop down using the entrance "tube" to 28m clearing a little arch and then continuing your dive at the out side of blue hole, eventually going over to the Blue Hole itself and making half or even an entire cirkel. Best to visit during off Season, no waits and no disturbances.
