Description: Approx 60 miles from Belize City, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet across and some 400 feet deep.
The blue hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating a rather interesting experience for divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish—and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole’s edge.
