The Blue Hole is accessible from either the west side of Nassau , or the north central coast of Andros . Two dive operations visit this dive site regularly:
Stuart Cove's Dive Bahamas in Nassau (242-362-4171) dives The Blue Hole as part of an all-day excursion, $150 for three dives that also include the Andros Wall. A private dive master may be hired for $650 a day. The nearest marina is Lyford Cay Marina, with 74 slips and dockside depth of 10-12 feet.
Small Hope Bay Lodge on Andros (242-368-2014) dives The Blue Hole as a single tank dive for $60 ($80 for two-tank dive). A private dive master may be hired for $85 a diver, two-diver minimum. The nearest marina is the Lighthouse Club Marina at Fresh Creek, with 34 slips and dockside depth of 18-20 feet.
The edge of the wall on the Andros Barrier Reef is honeycombed with caverns, tunnels and swim-throughs, offering great photo opportunities such as this one.
