Deans Blue Hole panorama
Dean's Blue Hole is the world's deepest known salt water blue hole with an entrance below sea level. It is 202 metres, or 663 feet deep, and is located in the out island of the Bahamas, Long Island. We've visited twice now and it never ceases to amaze me. It's rather intimidating however, as people have drowned there because at certain times the tide is so strong it can pull you out to see below the land mass -the ocean and the hole are connected -that stretch of land you see to the left is all water below. There used to be a small floating dock in the center of the hole for divers, but they've removed it. You can see my daughter and me (those tiny specs to the right!) walking out in the shallows for a sense of the scale. It's a very interesting place and a must see if you visit Long Island.
Here's a link to a video of free diving in Dean's Blue Hole. I swam out over the hole, but it's pretty intimidating! This guy is brave!
