Part of the Lighthouse Reef System, The Great Blue Hole lies approximately 60 miles off the mainland out of Belize City. A large, almost perfectly circular hole approximately one quarter of a mile (0.4 km) across, it’s one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth. Inside this hole, the water is 480 feet (145 m) deep and it is the depth of water which gives the deep blue color that causes such structures throughout the world to be known as "blue holes."

Hi friends,
The Blue Hole and the surrounding area has been designated a World Heritage site due to is uniqueness and is another one of Belize's many protected areas. Scuba divers from all over come here to dive in the crystal clear waters and get a glimpse of fishes from different species, including - blacktip shark, hammerheads, bull shark, Caribbean reef shark, nurse sharks and groupers. The first 40 feet of water on top of the hole is considered to be the ideal spot for diving and snorkeling. Beneath that point only experienced divers can explore. Thanks a lot...
