BLUE HOLE
There are
few dive sites in Sinai more spectacular - or more
dangerous - than Blue Hole. This circular, 203-foot drop
off lies a few miles north of Dahab, and it looks exactly
like its name. The dark hole rests in the shallows of a
bright blue reef shelf, and the life clinging the hole's
rim is unusually dense - even for the Red Sea. Corals,
fans, eels and dozens of fish species flourish here, and
the space-like depths of the hole provides a magnificent
backdrop. It is best, however, not to let the Blue Hole's
dark beauty lure you too far down: more than a few people
have gone in and never come back, due to nitrogen
narcosis.
