Corals will die if we do not stop the pollution. --- Try your best to save them!
The Blue Hole is undoubtedly Guam's most popular divesite. It's a natural limestone vertical shaft formed millions of years ago which extends down into the reef. The opening is approximately 35 X 25 ft.
The upper reef varies in depth from 20' near the cliffline, to 55-60 ft at the upper opening of the shaft. From there it drops downward to 300+ feet. The first opportunity to exit the shaft is at 127 feet. It is common to see large pelagic fish below and as you follow the wall on the outside of the Blue Hole you probably will see more.
Gliding down the awe-inspiring shaft can get even the most experienced diver’s adrenaline up, so watch your descent rate and depth carefully. Soft and hard corals, sea whips, fish and eels can be seen inside the shaft.
Once out of the shaft, ascend to about 80 feet and follow the contour of the wall for a while. Then ascend to the 60’ reef flat where there is a variety of hand-fed fish and several rock mounds covered with interesting corals and algae. Watch for large trigger fish and lots of schooling fish.Here are some photos from the same site, let me share them with you!
