Virgin Blue Hole

The dive descends through a round hole in the reef and leaves through a tunnel onto the outer wall, whose edge drops to about 35 m. Four deep canyons cut the reef here and form windows, crevices and small caves. Pyramid butterflyfish, Moorish idols and oriental sweetlips gather along the wall, turtles move through the canyons, and whitetip and leopard sharks rest on the sand near the tunnel exit. Soft corals and sea fans grow on the tunnel ceiling, and dolphins have been seen along the wall.
