In 1971, Jacques Cousteau boldly sailed Calypso to the Great Blue Hole, investigated and declared it one of the 10 best diving sites in the world. It’s a large underwater sinkhole near the center of Lighthouse Reef, about 62 miles from Belize City. So much for the mystery. The circular hole is nearly 1,000 feet across and 410 feet deep, boasting underwater caves, fantastic coral formations and many species of tropical fish darting through the clear water.
