Advanced Diving Tour

The Canyon and the Blue Hole, Advanced Diving Tour
The Canyon and the Blue Hole are often considered two of the best spots in Dahab for scuba diving.
The Canyon is in a deep crack in the sea floor that was formed by an earthquake in the Gulf of Aqaba. This dive appeals to any who love cavern diving. It is a 30 m dive into the seabed with an amazing view upward from the inside. The clear blue water runs into the crack at the bottom of the sea and takes you back up into the "fishbowl". The hollow coral pinnacle is home to hundreds of Glassfish that swim around you while you're in there. Stretch out your hands towards them and they will swim away from you in one big movement, to come back soon after that to reclaim their place in the fishbowl.

The Blue Hole is a world famous site for advanced divers. The dive starts at the Bells, a big crack in the coral wall with a 26 m straight drop and an archway at the end. Following the enormous (and virtually bottomless) coral wall to the south you will encounter unspoiled corals and many different types of marine life. Crossing the so called "saddle" will take you into the famous Blue Hole itself. See the natural coral of the Blue Hole after an amazing journey to get there.

Requirements
Before the dive, the divers have to identify us with their diving certification and logbook. We accept all international diving certifications. If your last dive was more than 6 months before, we require a refresher dive before the diving safari.
Diving is a sport that requires a good physical and mental health. Please download a medical statement. This form you will fill in with your instructor on the spot. However, read the statement carefully beforehand and in case of doubt, or if you have any questions answered with YES, you need to consult your physician. Let him or her sign the statement for your specific problem if he or she declares you fit for diving. This will prevent delays in Dahab on your dive.
