Dahab the Mekka of Freediving

About Freediving in Dahab

Freediving is a sport with increasing popularity. It is synonym with breath hold diving and when you start getting professional lessons you will probably increase maximum depth and also how comfortable you are at depths. When I first started training i had problems reaching 10 meters, but after a week i was able to reach 25 meters. When you start taking lessons you will probably find out that everything you did before was wrong and potentially harmful.

Dahab has become one of the most important places for freediving in the world. It has held neumerous competitions and world record attempts. Most important is the Blue Hole where you find the Arch where William Truebridge freedived without suit, fins or assistance. You can see the video here.

The Blue Hole is 110 meters deep and 150 meters wide and is a center point in the Red Sea for water sports.
