At high tide, and adding a ceiling buffer (so you don’t hit the Arch itself) you need 56m to clear it; so still under the 60m threshold
I agree it’s a very pretty site for hanging in deco

Assuming you are talking about diving the Arch, to stay at 52m you need to be scraping the ceiling. I think you should be trained to normoxic trimix to safely dive the Arch. Amazing dive by the way.
Another option that you might consider exploring is to hire a guide in Sharm and have them take you up to Dahab. You need a CDWS dive guide anyway to do any of those dives. There is a guy in Sharm called Zakaria (Zak) El-Sayed who used to be the technical diving manager for Planet Divers. You can contact him on facebook.
OP, I have Zaks number (WhatsApp) btw if wanna reachout to him; highly recommendable and cheerful dude, I met him a few times at Planet (after he stopped being their manager) while he was teaching hypoxic ccr class on visiting terms (iirc), I was starting my ccr mod1 and his insights during surface intervals were very helpful
He runs a school in Sharm now but often goes to Dahab for trips with customers
