This is another natural phenomena that you can find in Belize. It’s the Great Blue Hole. If you see the pic at above, it’s seen like pupil of an eye. Is it safe to dive there? Yes guys, you can raise your dive-experience in there and it’s safe to diving.

What the Great Blue Hole is? According to Wikipedia,

The Great Blue Hole is a large underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 100 kilometres (62 mi) from the mainland and Belize City. The hole is circular in shape, over 300 metres (984 ft) across and 125 metres (410 ft) deep. It was formed as a limestone cave system during the last glacial period when sea levels were much lower. As the ocean began to rise again, the caves flooded, and the roof collapsed. Believed to be the world’s largest feature of its kind, the Great Blue Hole is part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a World Heritage Site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).


See the video-discovering of some divers inside of the Great Blue Hole,

So interesting right? If you like diving but have not felt the atmosphere inside the Great Blue Hole, take your diving equipment now, go to Belize and feel the “Blue” on it. I’m pretty sure it will be your best diving. Have a nice trip and have fun.
