- Belize: Diving the Blue Hole
-
At nearly 100 feet down, we reach what appears to be a vertical hole deep in the ocean. My guide signals to follow him. We carefully swim deeper, and I peer into the hole of darkness, making out some kind of an indentation or a ledge on the inside of a cave. 110 feet down. We're a little closer now, and I sense that my heart is beating fast. As I approach this underwater cavern, I see stalactites pointing into the depths below, to no man's land. I begin to investigate, but my guide taps me, shakes his head, and we begin making our way up to the surface.

- Belize: Whale Shark Diving Extension
-
Thirty feet below the surface, the bottlenose dolphins frolic within arm's reach, and at 80 feet we're engulfed by hypnotic schools of snapper and grouper. We dive deeper, into the still waters beneath the fish, when our guide gives the signal: up from the darkness emerges a 40-foot whale shark, attracted to our air bubbles, which mimic fish-spawn in the blue Caribbean abyss. Mouth agape, filtering for food, the whale shark ignores both us and the reef sharks patrolling the area with curiosity. Instead, this ancient fish ascends slowly to feed in warmer waters. Unthreatened, it allows us to swim alongside.
