Dive-site story
Located in Piti Bomb Holes Marine Preserve, this site centers around a natural sinkhole depression in the reef flat adjacent to the Fish Eye Underwater Observatory. Divers share the water with snorkelers and observatory visitors observing through subterranean windows. Sand channels meander between dense Porites coral heads, forming a sheltered basin that stays calm during prevailing trade winds.
