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 - Bahamas offers some of Nassau & New Providence's richest cenote diving. Water ranges 25-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Lost Blue Hole, just off Nassau, is a surprisingly accessible cenote dive, dropping to 27 meters. You’ll descend into a wide, sandy basin, its walls dotted with small ledges and crevices. We often spot a nurse shark or two napping in the sand, sometimes a turtle cruising by the opening. It’s a calm, easy dive, perfect for beginners looking for something a bit different than the usual reef, and a good way to get comfortable with deeper descents in a contained environment. The light play from above is quite something, especially on a sunny afternoon.
