Best for intermediate divers, 15-30m, boat entry, strong current.
Virgin Blue Hole in the Ngemelis Islands is a complex cavern and wall site. Divers enter through openings that funnel down to 15 metres before the floor transitions to a wall plunging into deeper water. With visibility between 30 and 50 metres, the site features light play through overhead chimneys. Marine life includes common sightings of Napoleon Wrasse and Whitetip Reef Sharks, alongside Giant Moray, Clown Triggerfish, and Harlequin Sweetlips. Due to strong currents and the overhead environment, this site is suited for intermediate divers with precise buoyancy control. Boat access is required, and divers should monitor their depth carefully while navigating the cavern structure.

The cavern sections create an overhead environment, so if you are not current-dive trained, brief carefully with your guide before entry and stay close to your buddy throughout. Check locally for current conditions on the day, as flow strength varies and affects how much time you can safely spend inside the blue hole.
Located 26 miles from Koror, it takes 50-60 minutes by speedboat to reach the site.
