About this dive site

This dive site, Ben's Blue Hole, is located just across from the Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach Resort. The area offers a unique diving experience due to its funnel shape, where freshwater flows into the sea, creating an interesting environment for marine life. The reef surrounding the hole takes on a distinctive horseshoe form. Divers often encounter fascinating creatures such as large green moray eels, groupers, and even hawksbill turtles. It’s particularly appealing to underwater photographers on sunny days who enjoy exploring coral head formations. The average depth of the site ranges from 13 to 14 meters.
