Romblon-based trips are the practical route for a safe Blue Hole dive.
The Blue Hole is a boat-access blue-hole chimney dive off Punta Gorda on Tablas Island in Romblon. A shallow opening drops into a vertical cavity that leads back out toward the reef, so the site feels like a controlled descent followed by careful navigation in and around the hole. It is a famous Romblon dive that rewards confident buoyancy, calm-sea planning, and a guide who knows the current inside the chimney.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The site suits confident scuba divers who can hold trim in a narrow vertical feature and stay disciplined on the way down and back out.
Freediving
The shallow opening can work for confident freedivers, but the vertical drop and current make it a serious site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the opening area; the Blue Hole itself is better as a freedive or scuba objective.
