Compact Bass Point reef hole with strong macro life
Compact Bass Point reef hole with strong macro life
Hole in the Wall is a compact Bass Point reef opening with a short overhead swim-through and a strong macro payoff. The site is shallow enough to stay approachable, but the entry and exit only work when the sea is very calm, so it feels more like a careful reef traverse than an open-water cruise. After dark or in clean water, the hole fills with fish life and small critters that reward a slow, controlled dive.

Typical Conditions
Very calm conditions are required; surge can be present on entry and exit, and the hole has limited room inside.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards

Treat the hole as overhead territory and keep the group tight; the site only fits a few divers at once, and surge can move the entrance and exit.
