What's At The Bottom Of The Great Blue Hole?

The Great Blue Hole is a massive underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize. In the winter of 2018, a submarine crew from Aquatica Submarines ventured to the bottom of the hole and made some unexpected discoveries.

What's At The Bottom Of The Great Blue Hole?

[G]

Formed during the ice age? Must be the squirrel's fault...

[antsinmyeyes]

The terrifies me. Imagine swimming over complete emptiness

[polish_filipino]

You'll find the entrance to the smurf village

Dude imagine 1000 years from now scientists venture into the hole and found coca cola bottle.. they probably think that there were a civilization under there before it sank lol

*Atlantis would like to know your location*

[nmarrs]

Two bodies and a two liter of Coke. Sounds like a party to me.

[imreadyfortheclimax]

The Bikini Bottom Is what’s at the bottom of the blue hole

[sashii]

A cola bottle and a GoPro.
The usual suspects but kinda cool.

A few dead people.
Oh.

I don't get how the go pro survived. This is some great free advertisement

[keithharper]

nice to know that even in a remote unreachable spot humans still managed to get our trash there

[GeorgTheGr]

You'll find Will Smith as the genie

I’m honestly surprised there wasn’t more bodies found, this dive spot is pretty dangerous.

Humans : First exploration to the bottom of the Great Blue.

Plastic : Hold My Coke

I dove it and it was amazing. Deepest dive ever for me ~ 130'. Huge stalactites. Look up and see sharks circling above. Swimming out over the hole is pretty crazy. Beautiful reefs surround the hole. Definitely recommend!

I live in Belize, It's so fun to be in a blessed country, We had 2 tsunami alerts and no tsunamis. We only have tremors, and We have the second largest barrier reef in the world and The Great Blue Hole. I'm a proud belizean!

[officerbeenadd]

I'll save you some time.
2 litre coca cola bottle
a go pro
and 3 human skeletons....
you can thank me later

[lauc]

The fact that the blue hole will eventually not be there anymore due to sand kinda makes me sad. Can y'all imagine how much history we will miss out?

[exoplanets]

Here before Justin Y.








Wait..

I was rescued from this whirlpool/dam where I was literally being sucked in and couldn’t swim out no matter how much I tried, All I can remember was trying to breathe but oxygen was so low that I felt myself sorta dying slowly? I was pretty much heading there. This guy whom I didn’t really have contact with at the river in one of Puerto Rico’s forests south of coamo came out of nowhere and snatched me from my rib area on my right and brought me up where I finally regained some consciousness and last but not least some air! I thought that was it for me! But this deep blue hole.... I wouldn’t come near it if they paid me enough to live work free the rest of my life, assuming I even survived to begin 🤣

PS: Guys I’m not that great of a swimmer, but when I tell you it was a warp like effect believe it! I’ve never been to a river that looked fine from above but as soon as you begin to swim around you find some interesting death traps.
