Best for intermediate divers, 25-35m, boat entry.
Blue Holes in the Ngemelis Islands features four large openings in the reef top that funnel light into a cavern system. Divers typically enter at 25 metres and exit through the wall face between 25 and 35 metres, where the structure transitions into a vertical reef edge. The site is suited for intermediate divers, with visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. Water temperatures remain consistent at 29 to 30C. Due to the overhead environment, significant vertical drops, and potential for strong currents, careful buoyancy control and depth monitoring are essential. Boat access is required, and divers should be aware of boat traffic upon surfacing.
