I heard a story about an instructor from Sharm who was up in Dahab for the day diving the Bells to Blue hole. The entrance is a giant stride and is about 5m down to the ledge. Apparently he hadn't turned his air on or inflated his BCD when he jumped, and sank like a stone. He had to fin like hell to reach the surface, cling to the rock and ask one of his students to turn on his air. No idea if it is true but it sounds plausible. And amusing.
