Six miles north of Halfmoon Caye at Lighthouse Reef and about fifty miles due east of Belize City is the Blue Hole, the result of a cave which collapsed centuries ago.
Visible from outer space, the Blue Hole is nearly a perfectly circular hole 1,000 feet in diameter and 412 feet deep. Popularized by a Jacques Cousteau television special in the 1970’s this has become the most famous dive site in all of Belize - one that avid divers put on their “life list” of places to dive.
