Pit Hole

Pit Hole is a local dive site near Batroun on Lebanon’s northern coast. Situated close to shore, it features a shallow, sheltered area with a rocky seabed and a small hole or swim-through that gives divers a brief vertical relief and interesting topography. Access is straightforward from nearby towns, with calm conditions typical of protected coastal bays when winds are light. The site is suitable for beginner to intermediate divers, offering an easy entry and a short, relaxed dive. Common Mediterranean reef life in the area includes small groupers, wrasses, gobies, blennies, octopus and various crustaceans, with sea urchins and soft corals decorating the rocky outcrops. Visibility varies with sea state but is often good closer to shore. This is a modest local site used by nearby clubs for training and short recreational dives.
