Descending down the U-shaped Bells is like doing an underwater waterslide. Exit the Bells at 26 metres onto a sheer wall, adorned with purple soft corals, that plunges into the depths. Swimming next to this massive wall is a sublime experience.
The Canyon is an underwater cavern that starts at 18 meters. It bottom is at 30 meters and has loads of room to explore. Watching the light flood in from above is an awesome experience. Exit the Canyon and pass ‘the fishbowl,’ which teems with beautiful lionfish, anthias and possibly a Red Sea Walkman. The Coral Garden that surrounds this site is stunning, with shallow coral pinnacles abundant with life, such as octopus and the occasional scorpionfish. Swim along the edge a drop-off that starts at 16 meters and slopes away into the deep blue waters.

BELLS TO BLUE HOLE
Descending down the U-shaped Bells is like doing an underwater waterslide. Exit the Bells at 26 metres onto a sheer wall, adorned with purple soft corals, that plunges into the depths. Swimming next to this massive wall is a sublime experience. Enjoy the life on the wall, but don’t forget get to look out into the blue as you might see turtles, tuna and even the odd whaleshark. Enter the Blue Hole over a coral saddle at 7 meters. It’s relatively shallow depth and diverse coral and fish make it one of the dive’s highlights. A swimming safety stop across the Blue Hole itself can often be spent watching the freedivers swim up and down their buoy lines–just remember to keep to your depth!
