INTERESTING FACT

The Blue Hole Facts

The Blue Hole is located just off of the coast of Belize, near the Ambergris Caye. The Blue Hole began as a limestone cave in our last Ice Age. After ages of erosion the cave collapsed leaving the scenic beauty we see today! The Blue Hole is almost perfectly circular reaching 300m (1000ft) across and 120m (400ft) deep. The blue cave is perfect spot for all divers because of its beauty and geological history.

more of a question than a comment


Do you need some sort of a permit to be allowed to swim in this blue beauty? How many people visit each year?

I like how they call this "The Blue Hole" as if its the only one on the planet...false. There is a blue hole not 10 miles from where I sit, in The Bahamas. If you want breathtaking, come have a look at ours, and we have many spread out throughout the islands. I'm sure most people know this isnt the only blue hole but just thought I'd let those who didnt know, there are others.
