Why dive here
With 362+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and humpback whales - Angelfish Blue Hole offers some of Long Island's richest cenote diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Angelfish Blue Hole, just off Stocking Island, is a dive for those who appreciate the dynamic side of the ocean. The tides here constantly shift, pushing a good current through a vertical tunnel, and that movement brings in the fish. Descend into the small entrance, and you might briefly share the space with a hunting eagle ray before it zips off. Inside, schools of yellow jacks cruise past, circling the entrance, their shapes outlined by the sun above. You’ll also spot parrotfish keeping a wary distance as you go deeper into the sand and rock base. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy a bit of current and don't mind a smaller entrance.
