Immediately after diving into the Blue Hole, we find a small cave called Blue Hole Cave. Slightly farther away are giant boulders looking like miniature mountain ranges. These are the remains of the famous Azure Window rock arch, which collapsed during a storm in spring 2017. Between the countless blocks of rock is a whole system of tunnels and holes, through which you can swim freely. In addition, colorful sponges, schools of fish, crustaceans and sometimes even octopuses.
