Adventure Tours Divers have two free days for tours, vacationers have the whole week! All of these exciting tours have a minimum number of travelers, so it’s important to pre-book them to be certain the trip will go and that you’ll have a great experience! The Blue Hole $164 UPGRADE FEE for Divers $282 Add On $205 Snorkeler Upgrade your two tank dive day with a 3 tank all-day adventure to the magnificent blue hole. During your dive here you'll observe some truly intriguing marine stalactites that surely give testament to its past. The stalactites and other limestone formations found within the Blue Hole become more intense and intriguing the further down you dive, and also, the further down you go, the water seems to get clearer. In other words, should you dare descend into this dark lair, you will be rewarded for your courage. The Blue Hole, which is basically an underwater sinkhole of considerable proportions, is some 1,000 feet across and 400 feet deep. For all intents and purposes, it is a bottomless pit, and it's the extreme depth of the hole that accounts for its deep blue color. It's amazing to see it from the air, as the opening is basically a perfect circle. In 1996, the Belize Blue Hole was designated a World Heritage Site, and in 1999, it was named a Belize national monument. Though the walls of the Belize Blue Hole are mostly smooth and vertical, there are spots were giant overhangs and ledges can be explored. These ledges are where the stalactites cling, and due to a past earthquake, some of these stalactites hang at a 12-degree pitch. The rim of the Blue Hole starts about 30-35 feet down, and though it's certainly worth it to descend further past the entrance, the perimeter diving and snorkeling is really excellent enough. The coral top and walls of the hole are home to the usual myriad assortment of coral reef creatures, in addition blacktip, whitetip, and nurse sharks are often spotted. The occasional Caribbean reef shark and hammerhead shark have been know to wander by, too. After your fascinating Blue Hole dive you’ll get two more dives at nearby atoll reefs on your way back to San Pedro.
