After Mt. Sinai I think we were all pretty exhausted so once we got to the hotel, we slept, or tried to sleep by the pool.

The following day we all went snorkelling in the Blue Hole!
The Blue Hole is known as after a few metres from shore it drops suddenly to 633ft. It attracts divers and snorkellers alike from all over the world to marvel at its coral and spectaclar geography. From out of the water you can see light blue where the coral starts and then a sudden dark blue which shows where hole just drops away.

From the surface of the water and just looking down through our masks we swam over shauls of brightly coloured fish, coral, jelly fish and a number of minute divers in the depths below. You cannot see the bottom of the hole, just a blue vision of nothingness. Snorkelling is not one of my favourite pastimes but after a number of minutes I began to feel very safe and able to marvel at what lay beneath the seas surface. I would recommend this to anyone.
