Descend one after another, head-first as the Bells are really narrow. Besides: the dive site’s name has its origin in the „ding dong“ caused by the divers cylinders which hit the narrowtube-like fissure while entering and descending.

By descending into the tower you almost feel the deep quiet of a cathedral, wrapped up in the deep blue of the drop off which dramatically shoots downinto the abyss.

Gliding down the tower the first point to emerge is a saddle at about 5m, the second point at about 15m. In the depth of 30m the arch is situated, 5m deeper the tower’s threshold. The last little overhang with sand on its top is at 49m. Beyond these areas the wall drops off into a depth of several hundred meters.

After leaving the chimney the divers are able to enjoy an approx. 300m relaxing drive along the wall drifting south towards the Blue Hole. While this wall dive everything that shelters in the Gulf of Aqueba can cross your way. Often you meet with a big turtle, napoleon fishes or groupers. 

Never forget to look into the deep blue: big schools of tuna which hectically circle around, even an eagle ray, dolphins and reef sharks had been seen here. 

In the upper part the wall is almost overgrown by soft corals. 

Arriving at the blue hole one should ascend to approx. 5m. When it starts getting hard to make out the other divers because of the lots of fairy basslets you got to the entry of the Blue Hole. 

After crossing the saddle in a depth of 3-5m you decend into the Blue Hole. In any case you should stay at this “exit-depth”.

The Blue Hole provides in its upper part, which is flooded with light, an excellent scenario to the emerging diver – nothing but the divers look should descend after this dive into the deep blue of the Blue Hole.
