The length of the hole is about more than 100 meters, and while diving down you will find an opening with a width of approximately 6 meters, after which there is another hole with a tunnel that leads to the open sea, so some divers may have gotten lost there and this is another reason for drowning as well.
The Blue Hole was given this name because it appears in the middle of the water in the form of a circle that stands out by its dark blue color from the rest of the water surrounding it.
