Rota Hole
Rota's most popular dive: a boat dive into a cavern about 18 m deep with columns of light entering from above and a strong spotlight effect in the middle, known as the 'Jesus Experience'. Schools of fish and lobster live here; the best season is roughly March to September. Current can be strong outside the hole and the site needs good buoyancy and advanced skills.
