- Insane dive in Dahab, Egypt. What most people don't know is that the Blue Hole is actually just the 2nd best dive site in the area, the Canyon is much more exciting and adventurous without potentially killing you. That said, we did break a few rules of diving... As I was following my guide, I noticed that my depth meter was showing depth of 40+ meters, peaking at 48. This was confirmed to be later by my guide :D But well worth it!
My GoPro 9 held up well in it's cheap Chinese dive housing. So they are good for depth beyond recreational diving as well. Settings were:
4k 50fps
Flat picture profile
Auto Shutter
-1EV compensation (super important, especially when there is sun, or you are shooting in the darkness)
WB: 5500, but I had a red filter on once below 5m (not that it made a difference once we were below 15m to be honest)
High Bitrate of course
ISO 100-800 limit!
Oh, and my Seiko Diver held up well too! Super happy about that! :D
Man, you're freakin lucky to stay alive after such thing. The most crazy diver I know personally went there with a single 300 bar-topped tank and a 50% EAN, without any harm. I would not go there without a pair and deco-gas at all
That’s the canyon dive site in Dahab it’s 25 M max ,,I guess you were talking about the blue Hole ,that’s another story indeed
Wow, so many things wrong with that dive. That’s how accidents happen, you should’ve started at the bottom and worked your way up….and whoever was leading that one group was an idiot. It was so easy to see the inexperience of some of those divers. Obviously not following proper diving protocol, glad nobody got injured.
Thank you Len, I just had the very same insights.. Some divers were totally inexperienced.. Many wrong things..
Good dive👌🏻 beat risky on a single cylinder to go to 48m but it’s a very good dive! Congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼
Great video and experience mate! It did look a bit tight at the end - welcome back to dry land!
Great to see how many mistakes the dive master is doing and how much lack of training and inexperienced they were yes for that I agree with you. Lucky for sure more than greatness
Niiiice! Beautiful!
So you did a dive to 48 meters on a single cylinder and without a stage bottle in an overhead compartment and thought it is cool? In what way is this less dangerous than doing the arch in the Blue Hole without suitable training and equipment? What if some idiot watches your video and urges his dive guide to do the same but is not as lucky and runs out of air, gets stuck (not many years since a diver was killed in the next door Abu Helal canyon because he couldn't reach the exit and got stuck when trying to go out elsewhere), just can't make it back to the beach or get bent because not enough air for proper deco stop? This is just foolish and irresponsible!
To do a tecdive in a recreational configuration is more than stupid! Your guide was a jerk!
Very reckless, whit a single tank and no deco...
