The Sink Hole in Yanbu offers a unique cave diving experience, with a dramatic drop into an expansive cavern. Entry is straightforward, opening up to a wide chamber where we’ve often spotted the resident sweepers and glassfish schooling. It’s a site for divers comfortable in overhead environments, offering a different kind of Red Sea exploration beyond the typical reefs. Visibility inside is generally good, making for a clear view into the depths.
