When the volcanoes erupted on the island, much of the ground fell away, and this 98-foot-deep hole was the result. Tourists can relish crystal-clear waters populated with tropical fish and a sandy bed, and its natural beauty increases further by a steep ladder that leads down to the water, with travelers using it to dive into the pool or use it as an impromptu diving board providing the water levels are high enough.
Moreover, for those who’re not brave enough, a tumble-in from aboard a matter of inches above the water may be the safer option.
