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.

I'll start by saying my tour agent recommended this company to me. We messaged on VK, they explained and laid out all the excursions for us. There's a website too. Personally I found the VK information easy to follow, but it's better to book via WhatsApp so you don't miss the transfer-time notification, since VK abroad "lags badly." We booked the "All in One" sea excursion. A transfer from the hotel on a comfortable bus took us straight to the port. We were split up onto boats and off we went (that process took 30-40 minutes). They immediately checked who was diving. The process was well organized. First was the diving, good instructors, they explained and showed us everything. We weren't down long, but believe me, that's plenty for a first time. Then we swam in the open sea, masks and fins were provided! Perfect! And there was a delicious lunch. Some people got lucky and got a massage, since there were a lot of people and not everyone was in the water. One request for the organizers — serve lunch a bit earlier, after the diving, since your appetite really "wakes up" after all that activity. Thank you! "A sea of positivity" for very reasonable money!
Today our whole family did the "All in One" sea excursion. We loved it, everyone came away thrilled. Experienced instructors explained everything and taught us diving basics. We didn't wait long in the diving queue, and anyone who didn't want to dive could snorkel instead. We were fed, and got a banana boat ride. Everything was great. Thank you TUT VOYAGES.
