    StandoutDramatic wall topography

    Entry at The Bells can be a little dramatic. You gear up right at the water's edge and drop straight into an open vertical shaft, a crack in the reef that goes down about 10 meters. It's a proper squeeze for a moment, then you pop out onto the wall with the deep blue stretching below. We love the drift here, letting the current carry you gently along the reef face towards the Blue Hole, watching for Diagonal Butterflyfish darting amongst the Brain Root and Smooth Cauliflower corals. It’s a site that really makes you feel like you’re exploring, not just observing, and it's fantastic for divers who appreciate dramatic topography.
