Iconic Guam blue-hole dive with a deep shaft exit.
Iconic Guam blue-hole dive with a deep shaft exit.
Blue Hole - Guam is a boat-access blue-hole and wall dive off the Orote Peninsula, where a shallow reef-top opening drops into a vertical shaft and opens onto the outer wall through a deeper window. It is best suited to experienced scuba divers who are comfortable with depth, current-aware exits, and a direct route back to the reef edge; the site is famous for its dramatic shape and open-ocean feel rather than for a long coral cruise.
