It is one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth, right in the center of Lighthouse Reef is a large, almost perfectly circular hole approximately 250 meters. Inside this hole the water is 145m deep and it is the depth of water which gives the deep blue color that causes such structures throughout the world to be known as "blue holes."
