About This Dive Site

Hole in the Wall is situated on Escarceo Point, where the actual "hole in the wall" is a short tunnel at 12m through a mini mountain that constitutes the dividing range between ebb and tide. This makes for a very beautiful – and sometimes exciting – dive.

As is common in an area where currents meet, you can expect lots of schooling fish. The top of the wall is covered in colorful soft coral attracting many colorful fish.

The site is home to various marine life including:

  • Drummers
  • Sweetlips
  • Trevallies
  • Snappers
  • Lionfish
  • Scorpionfish
  • Moray Eels
  • Puffer Fish
  • Octopus
  • Frogfish
  • Turtles
  • Sea Snakes

The occasional pair of giant trevally can be seen hovering high above the rocky outcropping. While swimming through the hole, be aware of the Lionfish and Scorpionfish that are common here, as well as the feather-like Hydroids growing on the walls – they sting! Good buoyancy is a must.

On the other side of the wall lies another wall, definitely worth exploring if the current allows it. It's covered in soft coral, sponges, green tree coral and fans, making it the hiding place for many Moray Eels and Puffer Fishes. The wall drops off into a flat lunar-like landscape with whole gardens of whip corals vibrating in the current.

Current Warning: This can be a very easy dive, even for novices – with good buoyancy control. Be aware however that on strong floods, the current can get very tough and down currents are common, making you bounce up and down like a yo-yo on your way to the surface. Stay close to your guide and to the bottom!

Hazard Warning: While swimming through the hole, watch out for Lionfish, Scorpionfish and the feather-like Hydroids growing on the walls – they all sting! Maintain good buoyancy control to avoid contact with these organisms.
