I don't know if its the portly gentleman in speedos (just kidding) or the really lovely atmosphere of the place, but Blue Hole is one of my favourite dive sites. The Bells entry is unique to Dahab and is always lots of fun :) I've even been on an extremely rare Blue Hole Night Dive as part of my completion... More

Awsome place to snorkell and dive. We only snorkelled. Huge reef with 150m drop. Lots of fishes by the reef. The restaurants are very dated so avoid.

This is the best place to go and snorkel in Egypt both myself and partner would recommend this.... The cafe's outside the blue hole are just as good with good hospitality throughout.

The Blue hole is a MUST see if you're staying in Dahab or the Sinai peninsula; *especially* if you're a diver! Stunning dive site with an incredible backdrop of mountains. Enjoy... but be careful. Do NOT attempt to go deeper than your certification, it is very dangerous!

So pleased I made this trip to the Blue Hole, the snorkelling was excellent with plenty of beautiful corals and fish to see, the only downside was the amount of rubbish floating around, do what I did, grab a bag and collect it as you swim around, its such a shame as it will kill the fish and corals there.....

No visit to Dahab would be complete without a visit to the Blue Hole to snorkel. The Blue Hole is a circular hole on the inner side of the reef. It is about 40 metres in diameter and is 100 metres deep. Do not confine your snorkeling to the hole, rather dive along the outer wall, the marine life is... More

Profound deep blue sea, you cann't see the bottom, too far. Equipment is provided for about EGP 50. Hotels provide trips to the Blue Hole.
