ScubaDahab
Overview
The Bells is the classic advanced entry just north of the Blue Hole: you slip through a narrow vertical crack — the 'bell' — and emerge onto a sheer wall dropping into deep blue. From there it's a relaxed drift along one of Dahab's most beautiful coral walls, finishing back at the Blue Hole. A bucket-list dive for confident divers.
Conditions & what to expect
A committing chimney entry to around 27 m, then a wall drift. Requires good buoyancy and air awareness. Excellent visibility and dramatic topography; usually gentle current pushing you toward the Blue Hole.
Marine life
Gorgonian fans, glassfish, snappers and the occasional turtle or reef shark cruising the wall.
Who can dive it
Advanced Open Water (or equivalent) and comfortable buoyancy required — this is a deeper wall dive with a demanding entry.
Getting there and best time
The Bells is about 10 km north of town, next to the Blue Hole. Best time: early morning, before the day-trip groups arrive. Dive centres include transport by pickup truck.
Before you dive it, read our Blue Hole guide.
