Diving at The Bells and Blue Hole
| Name Dive Site: | Bells and Blue Hole |
| Depth: | 7-40m (22-131ft) |
| Visibility: | 10-30m (32-98ft) |
| Accessibility: | Shore |
| Specifications: |        |
The Bells and Blue Hole are actually two dive sites, but dive operators often dive it as a single drift dive. Accessible only by jeep, the dive often starts at the Bells. This is a hole in the reef at 5 meter from where you will be going down to a depth of about 27 meter through some kind of 'chimney', representing the shape of a bell. There you enter the open ocean after swimming past some beautiful caves and cavelets. You will pass some spectacular vertical walls swimming southward before you will enter the blue hole at a saddle point at about 7 meter. The blue hole is literally a huge hole in the reef with a width of 60 meters and a depth of about 110 meter. The amount of wildlife and coral species is huge as you expect at a dive site with this diversity.
The Blue Hole with depths exceeding 110 meters is brilliant for technical divers. Be careful though, many people have lost their lives here. Below 50 meters the water becomes thicker, the area is permanently in shade and the ocean color looks like ‘out of space’ blue. There is an arch starting at 60 meters, from where you can enter the open ocean. There is scuba equipment lying around the ocean floor of poor divers who were wrongly trained, took too many risks and didn't make it. After all, while being in Dahab, this is definitely a must dive for technical divers. But the bells are also interesting enough for normal scuba divers.

Diving this in early December 08, we started gearing up outside the 'Al Capone'. A short walk with fins in hand passing by the very sobering rock wall with plaques of the Blue Hole deaths. Then entering carefully into the Bells. Diving down the Bells was a very nice experience. I was closing the group and the stream of bubbles of divers before me through the 'chimney' was very nice. Be sure to equalize pressure often, diving head-first to 27m is unusual. Exiting the chimney, the coral landscape was very pleasing and rich. Plenty of fish, octupus and many other species were there. We were the only dive group and had a very nice, slow drift dive for 47minutes to the Blue Hole. This was my first dive in Dahab and one of the better ones, only surpassed by the Canyon-Coral Forest-Eel garden combination dive. I was diving with Moon Divers, I can recommend them.
