Your dive starts by making the short swim out to the blue hole between two rocky islands. Here you head down over the top of a beautiful shallow reef which descends into a valley with a sloping bottom down to 5 metres. Across the valley you reach your first swim through of the dive, through a rocky bridge into the tunnel of rocks. Such an amazing views, the light penetrating through the short cave with silhouettes of fish swimming in the light. Here you will likely see streams of squirrel fish and damsel fish that take cover in the formation and protection of the caves and rocks.

After this you swim towards what many state as the Millennium Falcon Rock! It’s just a short swim from here you descend to 11 metres where you will see as you edge towards a distinctive shadow that creates in the reef and make it way down to the maximum depth of 18 meters. Heading into a crevice of a rock that expands into an open underwater cave room. This is the blue hole, bright blue and rays of light shining through the entrance and its exits.
What a truly a stunning dive site. When you swim through the Blue Hole and looking back as you rise out at the stunning feature understanding where this site found its name. Swimming away from the Blue Hole over some Neptune’s sea grass, edging around a rocky slope we begin to head back to shallower depths. Shortly after you make the last swim through of the dive back through the rocky bridge into a valley whilst slowly making your way back to shore; reflecting on what has just been an amazing experience at the Blue Hole Dive Site in Protaras.
