Blue Hole Dahab Arch — The famous Dahab blue hole arch of Egyptian city is sadly the popular spot is famous for the large number of deaths that occurred here, because many divers disregarding all diving safety standards. attempt to go through the arch with a supply of only one tank of air. As a result many died from the effects of nitrogen narcosis or simply run out of air on the way back. Even though everyone knows that to go through the arch of the blue hole, divers need special technical training and special equipment.

To master technical diving even the most experienced divers must first take courses to learn how to dive deeper than usual, using a special mix of gases called tri mix. It's called tri mix because by reducing the amount of the two main atmospheric gases they are supplemented by non-toxic helium. This mix guarantees safety from nitrogen narcosis and helps maintain complete clarity of thought. But before attempting to learn to dive on try mix a diver must complete from several dozen to a hundred dives. In reality after taking just the first course which consists of four open water dives at best many, people begin to think that they're practically amphibious many of the most popular courses don't fully reveal to their students.

The serious dangers of deep water diving in fear of losing existing and future clients. training time is often reduced to three days, during which students are taught to assemble equipment and put on and take off their masks underwater while kneeling on the bottom. Complicated skills like the proper use of fins or achieving neutral buoyancy are usually left for later. But often the flaws of the training systems are amplified, by the idiosyncrasies of the Russian character. Many consciously take risks believing that their experience will be enough to keep them safe.
