This natural rock formation resembling an upright tube and carved out over thousands of years by wind and wave power, offers a sheltered entry for this dive through a huge archway starting at 6m stretching right down to the bottom at 15 m. A large cave at the bottom of the hole, exactly opposite the archway, is also worth exploring, offering spectacular scenery from the back. Out of the Blue Hole, we follow the wall to the left until we reach a fissure in the rock at 18 m. Up this sloping Chimney we emerge at a depth of 7 m finding ourselves on the edge of a drop-off. Actually, going up the Chimney, we have taken a shortcut right through the headland. Thus, down the drop-off and following the wall to the right, we keep going on along this Reef which leads us back to the starting point. Around the point of this reef, the marine life is abundant making this incredibly scenic dive even more spectacular.
Blue Hole – Chimney & Reef
The Blue Hole is reached via a fairly difficult walk over ancient coral-line limestone. The rough path leads down to the shore, where a shallow-water shelf stops abruptly where the Blue Hole is formed.
