Dive Spot Guide•
THE RIDGE HOLES: 10-22mts.
Ridge dive with big holes, walls and tucked-in life.
Maharees ridge dive with short boat access, small drift and calm-day visibility that helps the holes and ledges stand out.
About THE RIDGE HOLES: 10-22mts.
The Ridge Holes are a Maharees ridge dive where a line of big round holes breaks up the rock and turns the site into a slow, exploratory route. The holes, wall edges and overhangs are the main features, with crawfish, spiny spider crab and fish traffic tucked into the shadows. It is a better fit for divers who like careful navigation and close-looking than for anyone wanting a fast, open swim. Calm weather makes the structure easier to read and keeps the boat day more relaxed.

Swell and route-finding are the main variables; the holes are best when the sea stays calm enough to keep the rock readable.
Access Restrictions
Best handled with a local Maharees operator and boat launch from the Scraggane pier side; exposed weather makes ad hoc access awkward.
Legal Notes

Local Intel For THE RIDGE HOLES: 10-22mts.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Move slowly along the ridge and check the hole mouths, ledges and wall edges; the site rewards close-looking and good buoyancy.
Freediving
Not a good freedive target because the structure is deeper, boat-based and condition-sensitive.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the ridge and hole features sit below the surface and need scuba to work properly.
