TWO DIVERS LOST IN DAHAB'S BLUE HOLE
The bodies of two experienced Egyptian divers were recovered from the Blue Hole, Dahab on Sat 27 July.
The pair were attempting to dive the arch, which has a reputation as the world's most dangerous dive site.
This is the latest tragedy at the site and occured after a full moon, which reportedly produced strong downward currents on the outside wall of the arch. It appears that both divers were using air. Their bodies were recovered from beneath the arch at a depth of 120m.
The Blue Hole was recently mapped by a team of British divers see the DIVER feature here
