Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.
The dive
You descend into a round sinkhole in the limestone, with daylight throughout. A large underwater window looks out to the sea; at its foot lie a small cave and a chimney (-20 → -18 m) to the Coral Garden (-7 m).

Profile and sections
You descend into a round sinkhole in the limestone, with daylight throughout. A large underwater window looks out to the sea; at its foot lie a small cave and a chimney (-20 → -18 m) to the Coral Garden (-7 m). Average visibility is ~20 m.
The Azure Window above it collapsed in March 2017; the debris lies next to the site. The Blue Hole is often combined with Coral Cave.
- Depth and profile
- Pool ~10 m across; window to the open sea from -8/-9 to ~-20 m; small cave below the window (~8 × 8 m, 5 m high, sand floor); max ~-25 m at the cave, the outer wall goes deeper (to -45 m according to one source)
- Configuration
- All configurations
- DPV: Not DPV-suitable (estimate)
- Short and compact; a scooter makes no sense here.
Who can dive where
- At least Open water / no overhead
- Configurations: Backmount / twinset / Sidemount / CCR / Small cylinders / no-mount (speleo sumps)
- Goes down to 25 m (trimix or deco may be needed)
