Diving at the Blue Hole

The Blue Hole is only allowed to be accessed by divers with an Advanced Open Water certificate (or equivalent) or higher as the dive site can be challenging. There are different types of dives which can be done here, one being going into the Blue Hole itself, hovering in the deep blue water and admiring the hard corals on its walls. Another famous dive profile which is done here is a drift dive from Bells to the Blue Hole. Bells is a chimney like structure entrance which divers descend down to 26 metres in and then exit and drift past some impressive coral walls all the way to the Blue Hole. There is also a lot of opportunities for some thrilling technical dives, here divers can go down to 130 metres and so it is a great place for Advanced Trimix Divers and CCR Divers. One of the most famous technical diving spots here is The Arch, which is a huge archway which has its ceiling at 55 metres and underneath is just the dark blue drop off, is an impressive site if it can be seen from underneath. A lot of the dive centres in Dahab also go to the Blue Hole to do the Deep and Drift dives for the Advanced Open Water dive course.

The best Months to dive at the Blue Hole

One of the best things about the Red Sea is that the weather conditions are pleasant all year round. During the summer the water temperatures reach up to 29 degrees Celsius, and in the winter drops down to 21 degrees Celsius, but many divers here dive comfortably in a 5mm full suit and hood. The visibility is above average here, and really spoils divers here, on average it is 20 metres with the better days reaching above 50 metres. Due to this being a popular destination for many activities, it can get crowded during the Egyptian public holidays, so if divers want to avoid the crowds, it would be advisable to avoid coming during these holidays.

Top Wildlife Sightings at the Blue Hole

The main feature of the Blue Hole is not the abundant marine life, but the geographical phenomenon it is. However, there is also a lot of marine life to admire. On the saddle, at the entry of the Blue Hole, there is a beautiful reef which is teeming with life and colours. The drift dive from Bells to Blue Hole means divers will pass some impressive coral walls which are covered in Gorgonians, Soft Corals, Black Corals and Anemones. Here divers can also spot schools of Butterfly Fish, Angel Fish and Red Scalian Anthias, which create colourful glimmers with the deep blue background. Inside the rocky walls of the Blue Hole divers can spot Moray Eels and Lionfish. There have been some really rare and exciting sightings here in the past including Dolphin, Mola Mola and Whale Sharks; humans aren’t the only species who want to check out this unique place.
