Inland Sea is the name of a large circular lagoon of about 60 meters wide. She can be reached by walking, boating but also by diving from the sea inwards through a narrow 70 meter long open canyon. Entering the canyon is easy from the sea side where it has a height of 16 meters. But from the inland sea side the entrance in less than a meter. The canyon is about 25 meter deep under the water, creating a huge cave. It is possible to surface at all times but be careful, because this is probably the number one tourist attraction with many small boats you can bump into with. At the sea side to your left there is a drop-off that exceeds 40 meter. There you can continue your dive all the way to Azure Window and exit through the Blue Hole.

Dive here with good visibility only, because stirred up silt from heavy rain reduces visibility dramatically. Bad weather has some other disadvantage and that is light. The number one reason to dive here is probably how light falls at the walls. The sheer cliffs are spectacular as is the view from out of the cave into the open sea. Bring a torch and you will see many small creatures such as lobsters living in their cracks in the walls.
