Virgin Blue Holes is a dive site on the west side of Ngemelis Island that starts with a reef wall, has a sandy area with broken corals, and later leads to a round, blue hole. The diameter is 8m/26ft, and it serves as an entrance to the vertical shaft going down into the cavern. The long tunnel here can be exited from both sides, while 4 deep canyons are waiting to offer their caves for exploration. The current can reach 2 knots and is quite unpredictable.
