Places You'll Visit
The Blue Hole is a submarine sinkhole in a fringing reef a few kilometres north of Dahab on Egypt's Sinai coast, plunging past 100 metres deep. Its shallow rim offers accessible recreational diving and snorkeling, while a submerged passage called the Arch, its ceiling around 55 metres down, has drawn technical divers and is notorious for numerous diving fatalities.

We did the sea trip with snorkeling stops and relaxing on Hula-Hula Island. A professional crew on the boat, they gave us a proper briefing, watched over us carefully while snorkeling, chatted with us without being pushy, and were very warm. The island is gorgeous, a paradise spot! Special thanks to the online service managers too, they got us oriented quickly, answered every question, and all the info was clear and accessible. And a huge thank you to the transfer, they picked us up on time and were waiting for us after the trip — very pleasant!
We went on the submarine trip, 5 adults and one child. We loved the organization, from the online manager who answers every question, right through to being dropped back at the hotel. At the scheduled time they picked us up from the hotel in an air-conditioned transfer, took us smoothly to the Marina port, a Russian-speaking guide met us, gave us the intro info about the excursion and the return transfer, and walked us to the submarine itself. There the ship's crew took over. We sailed on the upper deck for about 20 minutes, then went down into the hold to see the beauty of the underwater world. After that there was a snorkeling stop, we had our own masks, but the organizers could also provide masks if you didn't have your own. They also give out life vests. It was windy with waves, but the vests made it more comfortable. After snorkeling we went back to the port, then they took us back to the hotel. Drinks weren't included in the excursion, and we knew that going in. But there was a nice bonus — they served Pepsi on the boat. Overall, we loved everything. It's a quick and easy way to get a taste of the Red Sea's underwater world. Great value for money 👍
