Snorkelers should enter at 'The Bells' opening 100 meters north and drift south with the natural current along the vertical coral drop-off into the Blue Hole saddle.
Never attempt free-diving into 'The Arch' (56m depth) without certified trimix technical dive gear and local emergency safety divers.
Sip traditional Bedouin Habak tea at the cliffside wooden platforms overlooking the deep azure abyss.
