DAN 12/DAY12

BLEJA

    I dalje odmaramo, tako da evo par informacija gde se zapravo nalzimo: 

RAJ ZA FREEDIVERE!

    Blue Hole je savrsena ronilacka lokacija na Sinaju, par kilometara severno od Dahaba, na obali Crvenog mora.
U suštini Blue Hole je neka vrsta pecine.
Dubina je oko 90 - 130 m i ima još par ovakvih "rupa" na svetu: na Bahamima, u Belizeu.

    "Rupe" su kružne, strmih zidova/koralnih grebena i ime su dobile po kontrastu izmedju tamno plavih boja dubina i svetlo plave boje plicaka oko njih. Osim atraktivne dubine od 130 m, postoji i plitak otvor ka moru, 6 m dubok, a i čuveni Arch, tunel od 26 m, na dubini od 52 m.

   Blue Hole je neslavno poznat po fatalnim ronilačkim nesrećama, otud nadimak: Groblje ronilaca. Lokacija je označena sa: "Blue hole: Easy entry". 

Do sada je bilo 40 prijavljenih smrti, pretpostavlja se da je broj dva puta veći.

    While are still on a break, so few facts where we actually are in this diver's paradise.

   This particular Blue Hole is a diving location in the eastern Sinai, a few kilometers north of Dahab on the coast of the Red Sea.

It is basically a sea cave.

It is 90 - 130 meters deep, and there are a few similar spots elsewhere on Earth: in the Bahamas, for example, and in Belize.

   Blue holes are round, steep-walled depressions, and get their name from the dramatic contrast between the dark blue, deep waters of their depths and the lighter blue of the shallows around them. 

   The Egyptian version has a shallow opening around 6 meters deep opening out to the sea, and a 26 meter tunnel, known as the Arch, the top of which is 52 meters.

   The Blue Hole is notorious for the number of fatal diving accidents which have occurred there, earning it the nickname "Diver's Cemetery". The site is marked by a sign that says "Blue hole: Easy entry". There have been at least 40 deaths reported; it is assumed that the real number is double this figure.
