Where
The Blue Hole, Dahab
A 100 m submarine sinkhole with a 26 m tunnel at 55 m through its seaward wall — trivially safe at recreational depth, and the deadliest dive site in the world at the Arch.

Very cool dive. We came to a piece of coral with thousands of glassfish all swimming in front of us. Also a couple of lionfish that posed nicely. And I am proud to have spotted another moray. Average heart rate: 95.
