About The Bells
The Bells is a narrow shore-access chimney dive that starts the classic route toward the Blue Hole. Divers descend one at a time through a tight opening in the reef, emerge onto a deep wall, and follow the drop-off past overhangs and coral before finishing on the outer wall. The site is famous, dramatic, and best suited to confident divers who are comfortable with depth and controlled buoyancy.
