Richard Branson's Blue Hole Trip

[Lead_carrier]

Did anyone one else notice the horrible storms and waves? I talked to someone that lives in Belize and they didn't see the storms and horrible weather that was supposedly in the area. Discovery is becoming a big joke lately.

I watched part of it, you didn't miss a thing.

Too bad. It had huge potential.

I kept waiting for it to get better but it didn't happen and I lost interest a little over half way through it. The only thing that got me that far was I was waiting for it to get better...

FWIW, I found it a boring dive. The best part was on the 2nd dive when we stayed shallow and just dove on the reef that surrounds the GBH.

For something with a little more substance....

My friends over at the Cambrian Foundation did a trip circa 1995 to the bottom of the Great Blue Hole (on mixed gas) much of it is documented here > Belize Expedition Archives - Cambrian Foundation

I believe that link is kind of the index page with subsequent entries - they actually did get some core samples of the debris mound at the bottom. (The Great Blue Hole is a big 'collapsed karst window' and the debris mound is what’s left of the top... in non-scientific terms... and apologies to all who already know that)

Hope this is helpful for someone who is interested in the Blue Hole...
