This dive site, known as 'The Hole', is situated slightly north of Turtle Rock on the Tangkaan Peninsula. It offers a unique diving experience, particularly for night dives, and is an excellent location for diver certification. The dive typically begins by descending from a vibrant reef top, found between 3 to 5 meters, down to the wall's base at 20-25 meters, before divers gradually ascend along the wall.
The Hole boasts a rich diversity of marine life. Divers can frequently spot large species such as marbled groupers, feeding turtles, and cruising Napoleon wrasse. For macro enthusiasts, the site is a haven, often revealing ornate ghost pipefish cleverly camouflaged on feather stars or black corals, alongside a variety of crawling nudibranchs.
While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, the consistent presence of diverse marine life suggests it's a rewarding dive year-round in suitable weather. Its shallow reef top and manageable depths make it ideal for both snorkelers and freedivers looking to explore its vibrant ecosystems. For scuba divers, especially beginners, it offers a safe and exciting environment to gain experience and discover both macro and pelagic encounters.
