The dive
Along the wall there are overhangs with black coral. The small arch below the Bells is not the Blue Hole's Arch. Practical: the pin comes from PADI and is approximate.

This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.
How to get there
Shore dive ~10 km north of Dahab, ~100 m north of the Blue Hole: you enter on the reef top and descend in a crack. Usually you then swim along the wall to the Blue Hole and finish over the Saddle (~7 m). Guided by a local dive centre; entrance fee on the road.
