We did some snorkelling at the Blue Hole. We came in the morning with Poseidon Divers - recommend the earlier start to avoid the crowds!

Great snorkelling/diving. Great location. Can get a little busy at times. Not a problem though.

The snorkeling is amazing, so many fish. Super fun to chillax in the beachside restaurant / dive houses. It does pay to get out there earlier in the morning before the masses arrive from Sharm.

I did not get in the water too many people around and I was sad to see that not everyone cared about the reef.

The Blu Hole has amazing fish, coral mollusks and other sea life in this sunlit blue hole. Arrange to purchase a ticket for transportation and gear from anywhere in Dahab. Check a few of the businesses before making a choice of who to use. I also went snorkeling south of my accommodation at coral gardens. This is great too. Fewer... More

Don't worry about the purple and pink jellyfish everywhere .... they don't sting. Just look at them... More
