Haven't been, but I would love to dive in it.

I'd almost be afraid to take a boat in it. It just looks way scary and who knows whats in that water. :faint:

It's amazingly beautiful, but I'm with you, Chasey. I think I'd be a little too scared to dive in it. :lol:

The great blue hole and Grover's Reef has been on my wishlist for future scuba diving & kayaking trips.

People dive it every day. Most of them come back.

That was just pretty awsome looking!!

:yikes:

If I could I would, that look fascinating.

Edit: This dive is way beyond my qualifications.

That skillet looks like it hurts :cheers:

I have not been to this particular blue hole, but I have been to the one in the Gulf of Aqaba in the Red Sea near Dahab. I am not a diver, I just snorkeled there. The only way to get to it by land is by Bedouin cab drivers, who drive these ancient Pugeots. Here is a link:

Shoudn't be, it's a wall, just go no deeper than 50'. The place I was looking at staying at one time, has shore access diving right by the motel.

That place looks amazing! I would love to check it out and dive there someday. I've only gone diving once, in Jamaica, which hardly makes me the expert diver. :lmao:

That would be a long swim to the blue hole. Its like 90 miles off the coast of Belize.

Belize period is a beautiful place to dive!

Yeah, except I would call for the vote about chumming sharks in before we left the dock. If the majority says chum, I'm saying, "adios chums".:lmao:

I also like the part about "getting mildly narked in the caves at '150. I don't think so Tim.:lol:

:lmao:I didn't mean shore access to the hole, just a dive site.

I know what you mean, I dont need no electric eel trying to mate with mr winky should he get loose.

Very interesting! I've always wanted to see that thing...I'm with you though, Chasey...I might dangle my tooties in the water, but I dont' think I would have the nerve to swim it; let alone dive. I've seen "Deep Star Six!" :lmao:


Putting this on the list of places to visit before I croak. Thanks for the info.

I think I want to learn how to dive, it seems like it would be so much fun....

All agree Belize is such a beautiful place.. We went Cave Tubing while we were there. We were only there for about 8 hrs, so I really didn't get to enjoy all of what Belize had to offer. But I would gladly go back...
