Shore access from Playa Chica, with a reef-wall approach and an overhead tunnel best for confident, buoyancy-stable divers.

About The Blue Hole

The Blue Hole is a shore dive in Puerto del Carmen built around a volcanic funnel cut through the reef. The approach runs along the reef wall and over sandy shallows before the tunnel opens back into blue water, so the dive feels like a route rather than a single feature. It suits confident divers who want an overhead section, solid buoyancy control, and a plan for the return along the wall. Expect crevices, caves, and plenty of fish life around the opening.

The Blue Hole Planning Details

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.

Reported Depth

20m - 30m

Depth Note

The upper opening is around 20 m and the funnel drops to just below 30 m.

Best Season

Year-round, with calmer sea windows making the shore entry and tunnel more comfortable.

Typical Conditions

Usually clear and easy to read along the wall, but the tunnel feels less forgiving if swell builds or divers stir sediment.

Safety & Access At The Blue Hole

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.

Key Hazards

Overhead environment

Safety Notes

Keep buoyancy tight in the tunnel, watch gas and no-deco limits, and treat the overhead section as a real penetration rather than a casual swim-through.

Local Intel For The Blue Hole

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba Diving

Follow the reef wall to the volcanic funnel, then choose the outer edge or continue through the tunnel into blue water. The route rewards calm buoyancy, gas discipline, and comfort with overhead terrain.

Freediving

Only for highly experienced breath-hold divers; the main passage is deep and overhead, so it is not a casual freedive target.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is better in the shallow Playa Chica area than at the tunnel itself; the main Blue Hole feature is too deep for casual snorkelers.
