Lost Blue Hole - Bahamas is an offshore blue hole south of Rose Island with a round sinkhole profile, a reef-lined rim, and a cave feature deeper inside. It fits a wide range of planning, from controlled recreational profiles around the rim to more technical exploration in the hole, with deep-water awareness, good buoyancy, and careful gas management important throughout. Marine life around the rim and inside the hole includes sharks, stingrays, turtles, angelfish, and other small reef species.

Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Depth quickly exceeds recreational limits and there is an overhead environment at the cave section; plan gas and training accordingly and be cautious around sharks and rays.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; the cave section and depth make this better for divers with solid buoyancy and gas planning.
Legal Notes
Follow operator briefing and local rules for boat entry, depth planning, and conservation practices.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for dives ranging from basic levels around the rim to technical dives deeper inside.
Freediving
The rim can suit controlled freedive profiles, but the hole itself is a serious depth feature.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the rim; the main draw is the drop-off and cave section.
