Belize is also well-known by its divers for one of the world's premiere dive location, the Great Blue Hole. This sink hole, made famous by the 1970 expedition of the famous Jacque Cousteau, is 1000 ft in diameter and drops to depths of 412ft; the walls of the Blue Hole are formed by an array of stalactites, stalagmites, and other limestone formations. Within the dark blue pupil of the turquoise sea, visitors can expect to meet the Blue Hole's renowned residents, which include sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish, as well as schools of Bull and Caribbean Reef sharks.
