About this site
Captiva Blue Hole lies in the Gulf waters off Captiva Island, on Florida's southwest coast near Sanibel. This stretch of the Gulf is characterized by shallow sandy bottoms punctuated by occasional depressions and ledges offshore from the barrier islands, and this particular depression reaches a maximum depth of around 11 metres. It is rated a beginner dive, and divers have reported lionfish and octopus around the site.
