Preparing to enter The Bells at The Blue Hole

Popular and famous, these dive sites need little introduction.  The boat’s zodiac will drop you near the Bells dive site from where the drift dive will start.  The dive follows the coral wall in a southwardly direction, with the reef on your right.  Big colonies of Star coral, Gorgonians, soft and black corals are to be found here.  You will pass anemones with their anemonefish and come across Butterfly fish and Angelfish on this dive.
Finally, you reach the Blue Hole and enter this circular–shaped break in the coral reef swimming over the reef wall at around 7-5 metres.  You will have time for a little swim in the Blue Hole before swimming back out over the reef wall, meanwhile conducting your safety stop, before rejoining the zodiac for the ride back to the boat.
