About this dive site
The iconic marine sinkhole every diver knows from the air.
The Great Blue Hole sits on Lighthouse Reef as a perfect circle of indigo over stalactite-lined walls and sandy ledges. Caribbean reef sharks often patrol the rim while groupers lurk under overhangs. This is an advanced, depth-focused dive, calm seas, nitrox and a skilled guide are part of the plan.
Most trips target April - June, but wind, swell and current still decide the day's site. Calendar peak is April - June, but skippers still move sites when wind, swell or current change. Book with a crew that knows Great Blue Hole day to day, not just the map pin.
