Blue Hole, Dahab
Nicknamed the "Divers' Cemetery," with more than 70 fatalities (some claim the actual number is over 100), Dahab's Blue Hole is basically a coral lagoon which opens to the Red Sea through a tunnel known as "the Arch." The roof of the Arch lies at a depth of 52 m (170 ft). The featureless depths beyond the Arch render the tunnel to the open sea appear shorter than it really is; in addition, a shoreward current causes the 26 m (85 ft) swim through the tunnel longer than its physical distance suggest it to be. The base of the Arch rests at 120 m (393 ft), after which it plunges to 1000+ m (3280+ ft) beyond. Scores of divers have fallen victim to its deceptive nature. The bottom of the Blue Hole is littered with scuba equipment and the bodies of their former owners; the cliffs around the bay bear their epitaphs.

Props on the 'save' .... dude that is huge .... did you keep in touch and does she still get wet ?? lolI saved a woman plunging to about 800+ft, in the dark, at night! I cought her at like 120ft breathing on EANx 32!
I could imagine the whole salvaging thing Thats pretty sad. At least for the divers to remain therelOl YES SIR i dive hello brother.
Thank you for the pics ... it's like being there ... as I can share your experience to a t ... hats off !
The reason why they have not recovered the bodies is because it is very dangerous to go salvaging ... there is tons of bodies in the blue hole. Egypt, poor country ... expensive to pull out ... tourists ... lol
Strong currents suck you in .... and out the shelf ... Lots of caves to loose yourself in my brother.
But you would know how that works

Now for the Blue Hole
Had a pleasure of diving there back in 2005 wicked you must go !!
The coral and fish on top ... camel safari to get there.
The stickiest Lebanese hash ..... I bough some from a Bedouin shaman in the middle of the desert on the way.
I am glad that we share a hobby ... there is nothing like the silence and isolation of the deep !!
