  Dude this looks awesome. I’ve been looking at all these videos on the subject and I am so surprised that more people aren’t aware of this place and the dangers. Its scary because the computer imagery shows how easy it appears to be.

  Thanks for showing me what it actually looks like. You won’t catch me there anytime soon. I believe in living life to the full but sometimes there are limits to human endurance and capabilities.

  Taxiforone: Thanks a lot for your comment, I am very glad that you liked the graphics. With the right attitude and correct dive trainin the place is beautiful and enjoyable and it’s quite a safe dive site if you respect it and take a serious approach towards it!

  I’ve tried to look for the song but it seems like Buddha Bar has about a hundred songs out there. Do you remember the name of the song?

  I really like your video. In such a short film you should not spent this much time on fancy intro graphics I think, although I think it looks very professional! I was wondering if you made the 3d graphics yourself and how it was done? I am really amazed by this divespot.
  Keep up the good work!

  joljols: Hi there, if you go to “more info” you will see that that this segment was taken out of the 23 min documentary. I didn’t make the 3D graphics myself, that was SL studio that made the graphics.

  Pretty cool video. I was so lucky to be in Dahab in 1971. Apart from a few shelters that the Bedouin used as they travelled the area, the only structure there was the lighthouse. I was so inspired by the Red Sea, that I had a 14 year career as a commercial oilfield diver. On subsequent visits over the years, as with so many other places in the world, the destruction of the marine environment seems inevitable.

  funkyalfonso: That’s very true. The place as not the same as it used to be 14 years ago, unfortunately you can easily spot the signs of “decay” (environmental destruction)very sad.

  Was that when Israel controlled Sinai? That sounds like it was a pretty long time ago.

  Very nice video! The top of the arch is 60m right? Is it typical for people to dive it in singles or on air?

• #22 by overseasmedia on 02/27/2009 - 16:25

  d5kenn: Actully the top is about 55 m deep, that was a very popular “single tank” dive site, but since many died in the Blue Hole, fotunately there is less single tank divers. BH is a dive site for tech diving.

  Hi Pilman, That’s right. Nearby was a moshav that became the centre of the town, near the bus station. As you know, Dahab refers to the golden beach there…when there was a beach. Things changed in 1979 when electricity arrived. Before that, there were only camps to the landward side of the road; no cafes by the beach. I still have “the red sea diver’s guide” by Shlomo Cohen from 1975. Aerial photos show Dahab…nothing there, just a few palm trees. Can you imagine Dahab pristine and silent?
