About this site
This Blue Hole sits off Matanzas province on Cuba's coast, distinct from the more famous sinkholes sharing the name in Belize and the Red Sea. It is rated an intermediate dive, and the surrounding sea floor here mixes shelf and deeper offshore water typical of this part of the Caribbean basin. Divers have reported angelfish, grouper, snapper, and even whales in the area, though these sightings come from limited reporting rather than a confirmed, regular lineup.
