As if the outstanding and unbeatable conditions for freediving of the Red Sea and in particular of the Blue Hole were not enough to justify a trip to Dahab for competing at the Triple Depth, the amount of prizes you can win this year (without the need to be a world record holder) should be an extra incentive!
Here a list of PROS and CONS of coming to Dahab to compete in Triple Depth 2015 (1-7 October).
Let’s start with the CONS so we get them out of the way:
CONS:
1-Ok, the food is not that great, but if you lose a couple of kilos you need less weight on your belt. So this should actually go in the PROS
2- No, IS hasn’t invaded Egypt yet, so you are not going to be beheaded/raped/kidnapped
3-Flights can become expensive whenever Europe freaks out and decides to cancel charters. Book your trip now with Egyptair or Turkish airlines, or Pegasus. It takes a little longer to get here, but if you fly Turkish and have a 8+ hours stopover they will put you in a 4 star hotel so you get to spend a day sightseeing Istanbul free of charge.
4-Maybe you remember Egypt announcing the introduction of new VISA rules , but then they didn’t follow up (as usual), so you still get a visa on arrival for 25 usd, or if you don’t stay longer than 2 weeks you get a entry stamp free of charge. So this is also not a cons!
