Dean's Blue Hole

Dean's Blue Hole

A blue hole refers to a blue-colored cave, which can be divided into two types: marine blue holes and terrestrial blue holes. Marine blue holes are underwater sinkholes, also known as submerged caves; they can be found in many parts of the world such as Belize and the Bahamas, as well as areas in the Red Sea. Due to the lack of water circulation, marine life cannot survive in blue holes, but they are of great scientific research value. To date, scientists have discovered many ancient fossils and animal remains at the bottom of blue holes.

Dean's Blue Hole is located in a bay on Long Island in the Bahamas and is said to be the deepest marine blue hole in the world. In 1992, Jim King was the first person to swim the entire length of the blue hole; in April 2010, renowned freediver William Trubridge set a world record there by diving to a depth of 92 meters; in December of the same year, he reached a depth of 101 meters using only his hands and feet for propulsion.
