Why dive here
With 531+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, dwarf minke whales, humpback whales and lemon sharks - Lost Blue Hole offers some of Nassau & New Providence's richest cenote diving. Water ranges 25-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Lost Blue Hole off Nassau is a deep, circular depression in the seafloor. Divers descend into the mouth, often finding schooling fish like snapper and jacks swirling around the rim. It's a straightforward dive, good for those wanting a blue hole experience without heavy currents or long boat rides. We think it’s a solid choice if you're looking for something a bit different near the capital.
