Diving at the Blue Hole in Dahab is possibly one of the most challenging dives ever – with the dive sited touted as one of the ‘most deadly dive site on Earth’. The 394-foot-deep sink hole continues to appeal to divers – in the same way Mount Everest or Kilimanjaro attracts mountaineers – despite it being nicknamed as ‘Diver’s Cemetery’ due to the fact that more than 130 divers have lost their lives at the Blue Hole in the last 15 years. Nonetheless, this definitely makes for a good bucket list item for the divers.
