However, the Sinai Peninsula was occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967 (with Israel occupying the territory until 1982).

By the time Israel handed the Sinai Peninsula back to Egypt in 1982, the Blue Hole had developed a reputation as a diving site amongst the international scuba diving community.
