15The Bells
A true vertical wall, full of overhangs and fissures, with lots of swimthroughs and cavelets. Towards the Blue Hole, in the south, the reef profile softens to a steep slope. The dive begins in a small slot in the reef table, around 100m (328ft) north of the Blue Hole lagoon; after reaching your maximum depth on the sheer wall section just south of the entry, ascend slowly and follow the reef south to the lip of the Blue Hole lagoon, in about 6m (20ft) at the top of the reef. This is your exit point.

17Ras Abu Galum
The dive side offers two different entries to crystal clear water. If you are lucky you can meet one of the turtles who like the area as well. The dive side is located in the protected area of Abu Gallum. Its an unique and very low frequented dive spot some 3 kilometres in the north of Dahab. To get there you can either book a camel trip from Dahab or a boat trip from bases in Sharm el Sheikh. Ras Abu Galum is also known as Ras Abu Gallou.
