Dahab, Egypt Travel Pictures

We reached Dahab as part of a day-trip to coloured canyon. Quite a strong wind swept through the small resort town, and numerous wind surfers come here for just that. Diving is another mainstay, with the famous Blue Hole in close vicinity. It's a wide hole in the coral which leads so far down as to be inaccessible except for Trimix. At about 60m, there's a huge cavernous tunnel in the coral wall called The Arch, leading to the open sea. Diving through it is supposed to be a "magical" experience, perhaps in part due to nitrogen narcosis. This area has become the final resting place for quite a number of divers who crossed their limits. You'll need to have Nitrox, advanced Nitrox, extended range and decompression technique certifications if you're "bent" to do this one...
