The Great Blue Hole is a giant marine sinkhole and one of the most recognizable dive sites on Earth. This deep dive is not about coral or fish, but about the geological wonder of descending past massive stalactites in a submerged, ancient cavern.

Features

A perfectly circular submarine sinkhole over 124m (407ft) deep. The dive involves a quick descent to 40m (130ft) to view giant stalactite formations in what was once a dry cave. Reef sharks are often seen patrolling the edge.
