A giant circular marine sinkhole, 300 m across and 125 m deep, in the Lighthouse Reef atoll, part of the Belize Barrier Reef UNESCO site. Divers see stalactites and reef sharks; scenic flights show its perfect circle from the air.


Boat trips from Caye Caulker and Ambergris Caye are long full days. Advanced divers only for the hole itself.
