The Blue Hole at the Red Sea, Dahab-Egypt

 

Blue Hole is a diving location on east Sinai, a few kilometres north of Dahab, Egypt on the coast of the Red Sea.

 

The Blue Hole is a submarine sinkhole (a kind of cave), around 130 m deep. There is a shallow opening around 6m deep, known as 'the saddle', opening out to the sea, and a 26m long tunnel, known as the arch, the top of which lies at a depth of 52m. The hole itself and the surrounding area has an abundance of coral and reef fish.
