A couple of years ago, there was a "Blue Hole mapping project" in which they accurately mapped the place giving useful information. I like this concept much more than scaring people that "it is dangerous and lots of divers died there"- if you're going to try anyway, at least have the best information available so you know what you're going into... I couldn't find their website, but I think it was linked in this forum before.
...Most stories about BH are myths.
I would talk to the Lighthouse Dive Center about conditions when you are planning on doing the dive particularly if a swim through the arch is in your plans. Have folks encountered these issues there?
Not sure lighthouse centre do ANY tech diving at all (and certainly wont give any advice any different from wha theother 40+ centres will tell you as well!).
This article describes the Blue Hole mapping project, unfortunately the website mentioned in the article where the maps are hosted (scuba diving belize time management at blueholeproject.com) appears to be no longer up.
The arch is a 60m planned dive at the shallowest.
i just came back from diving the blue hole.. Just 30 meters deep.. Any questions?
I will visit the Blue Hole on January or February on my diving trip to Egypt,but it will be only up to 30 meters. Impressions? Any advice?
