El Bells
El Bells is a spectacular dive situated just a short walk North from the famous Blue Hole. Entry is through a crack in the reef. This is followed by a vertical descent through an ancient volcanic fissure which forms the shape of a bell, from which the site gets its name. Sunlight pours in through the fissure making this a truly spectacular entry to a dive. At 30 metres, you exit the fissure into ‘the blue’ and drift dive alongside a wall towards the Blue Hole, gently ascending as you go. You enter the Blue Hole via the ‘Saddle’ and make your way across it before exiting at the other side.

The Blue Hole
The clarity and the colour of the water is always amazing. The Blue Hole hosts a great abundance of coral, including Star Coral, Gorgonians, Soft coral, Black coral and Anemones (with their colourful Clown fish). You can also observe some giant sponges called ‘Elephant Ear’ before exiting the water to the western part of the Blue Hole. On occasion, looking out into ‘the blue’ from the wall, divers have been lucky enough to spot the Giant Manta Ray as they glide and swoop majestically. The Blue Hole is one of Dahab’s most famous dive sites and should definitely not be missed.
