Blue Hole, Belize

[barfbaghero]

water is gay

[ORSOLATO74]

certo che come assetto non ci siamo proprio eh!?!?

[alexandros789]

one of the scariest places on earth...

[seasnake321]

yea sexydiver16 but there are sites with good dive stories on the net too. The myscubastory site has the best. They also have dive accident stories and videos; lost buddy stories and shark encounter videos. all of them are true life. Type myscubastory into google and its the first site.

[Rotmeertaucher4]

Long year's divers say "Diving is a kind of sports and needs a lot of steady training" starting with good finning style. Diving industry says "Diving is fun and adventure, just change your money to a diver certification and you can be very proud to do all these exciting things". This is fucking damish! Almost no one in this video belongs into this surrounding!

[MsKitty9191]

woah! still not done watching yer vid but there are vertical posts down there! it's amazing, considering that's a sink hole..

it's like atlantis!.. lol

[marinefish321]

yea true Scbuababe20 but there are good wreck discovery/dive accident videos and stories on the net too. My favourite site is the myscubastory site. They have tonnes of real life dive stories and videos. Type myscubastory into google and its the first result

[Rockette324]

Wow... this is why I hate rental dive gear. That kind of thing is terrifying!

[tdwtduncan2343]

this was a very nice video! was the boat ride out there rough waters?

[Metalhead1365]

DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY!!!!

[tauralia]

is it just me ore are there other people who think that there is a huge monster in that hole ...

[jjon95]

WOW I LOVE MY HOME COUNTRY this is so beautiful cant wait to dive again when i go bak from di states

[charlie999]

At the start of this clip you see what I presume is the death gauge but I can't make out how deep it's showing. Any ideas?

[jobeus]

@charlie999 140 feet.

[80z90zhouzemuzicgrl]

what happends if u panic while ur down there?

[ArmandoSalvatore]

[WarriorOfWriters]

I was sick just looking into that abyss

[oasis4ever92]

the thought of this scares the shit out of me. watching the videos on here is the closest id go

[dendara100]

[punkdollhouse18]

wow lately i've been looking for places to travl and now i know my first stop

[sparingnstuff]

i went to belize unfortenatly i didnt get to go diving lol just snorkleling

[deutschely]

practices fulfiled and get your certificate correctly.The long way is the good way here.We are talknig about YOUR LIFE! THEN you can plan diving vacations here and there as main substance of your vacation.

Blue Cenote in Belice is beatuiful,incredible.It's just not a dive for people that are starting.It's hard,it's all blue,you can get dizzy because you may lose reference, it's hard to stay in one depth, etc.

But this guide...This girl made me SO nervous since sec 3.WHERE THE HELL was he?!?!?

[deutschely]

living out of it. You as people being introduced to diving, should make a little research before putting half of the responsibility of your life in an unknown person. And secondly, it´s YOUR life. You must make a research and know what on Earth you are about to do. Diving should definitely NOT be taught in one vacation week as commerces (big all included and small ones do). DON'T. You can SNORKEL instead and it's amazing as well.

If you want to dive, learn where you live, in a pool. Have your

[deutschely]

and last, the medical part.

rescueing, hiperbaric chambers, etc.

About Belice and dive shops... as in every part of the world there are good ones and bad ones. It's not that it is FROM Belice, the thing is that no strict rules are made sure to be followed. The real thing behind this is money. Most of turistic center guides certify people in one week because that's what people usualy take for vacationtime abroad. They do it earn money, not to share the experience with other people and make a

[deutschely]

Technical diving is

deep dives (more than 90 ft cause narcosis is likely to get you in this depth at least),

another breathable gas mix other than compressed air (Nitrox, Heliox, Trimix),

covered environments (caves, wrecks/sunken boats/ under ice...) in all their levels,

special equipment (double tanks, side mount, dry-suits, rebreathers, etc.)

And then, there's the operational part of diving (mechanics, filling tanks, give service to different equimpent)

[deutschely]

Hi!

Well... defenitely a Deep dive is techical diving.

There are recreational diving and technical diving.

Recreational is Open Water 3 levels which include in order:

sea up to 18 mts or 59 (60 is ok) ft if you are advanced, and if you are strating its no more than 12 mts - 40 ft

lakes (altitude diving),

and nocturn dives in both sea and lake.

Multi-level dives and

No more.

[QBhooter]

Could you see sharks moving around the hole?

[QBhooter]

Is it possible moving around like this in Blue Hole?

By the way, could you sharks?

I couldn't.....in 2001

[sihombre81]

jajajaja estan bien locos yo jamas pudiera entrar ai me volveria loco o entraria en shock es una de las unicas cosas que me dan miedo lo profundo del mar y que durante una carrera se me trave la 3era

[dajewel1982]

are you kidding me at "that's the way things go with 3rd world dive shops sometimes"??? i am a proud and educated belizean (working on my masters), and i found your comment rude and absurd! if you feel this way, then don't ever come back to belize ever again!

[Quaddrator]

Yep, Blue Fins deffo looks bad. There seem to be a lot of novice divers - lots of hand and arm waving around. Sweet video, amazing visibility as well.

[1514jazzman]

That trench freking looks bottomless

[YINGAI1995]

OMG..thats creepy.. scary...

[lolergramCCCP]

Water clarity is amazing

[gunsgunslotsofguns]

i was going to the blue hole once, and there were a shitload of mosquitoes! i didnt even make it there. and i dont dive....im in 7th grade.

[scremo310]

i am from belize and we think those mofos r crazy fuck that i would never go in there!

[richard23videos]

You blame third world dive shops? People should know their own limits and experience. Everyone is responsible for himself.

[ericssson]

@richard23videos

dive shops have to be accountable idiot

[davislogic]

@richard23videos - True but they don't check certs and don't tell you that you are going to 130 until you get there. I think a lot of people are surprised and trust the guide. Still, the Dive Masters I had there were great. It was a wonderful trip.

[CDBigShow]

The sound we hear, is that audio you added to the video or recorded by the camera underwater?

[jobeus]

Recorded by the camera!

[MrCoalie1]

@jobeus what certifications do you have you must be advanced to go 100 feet

[jobeus]

@MrCoalie1 just "open water diver" .. I was unaware we were supposed to have a deep dive certificate before going deeper than 100 feet until well after the dive.

[scottsolinko]

@jobeus You don't *have* to. Its just recommended. There are no laws out there stating what you can and cannot do. You just won't be able to hire gear or get air without a dive cert.

[rochaeduardo1]

@jobeus thats the reasons for so many deaths.

[michaelparr100]

@CDBigShow That's typical inhale exchale from a regulator

[CDBigShow]

@michaelparr100 Thats what I thought, my friends were saying there' no way an encased airtight camera could pick up sound, but obviously it can. lol

[aitkenproductions]

Very cool video. I can't wait until I'm certified and get to do this! I like this video especially because the quality is really good for a under water camera. what kind of camera were you using? Thanks!

[jobeus]

Canon Powershot S80 w/ an underwater casing. I think there's better ones these days, but it was awesome for the time. Unfortunately I lost the camera and am stuck with only the case. =\

[aitkenproductions]

Thanks for the reply. That kind of stinks you lost it!

[aitkenproductions]

So cool but so scary!

[deZibeL8]

da wäre ich gerne dabei ;)

faszinierend die unterwasserwelt....!

[Tommykey07]

My other memory of the Blue Hole was how cold it got so fast on the descent and how it suddenly felt like a sauna once we ascended above a certain depth on the way up. I also did not have a lot of experience at beginning of the trip and was overweighted, but by the end of the trip I had gone from 18 pounds to 12 pounds.

[Tommykey07]

I dove the Blue Hole this past August. Was on the Sundancer II, a liveaboard. I don't recall seeing fish down that deep in the hole. Saw a couple on the way up though. For me, the worse part was our first safety stop, 5 minutes. It felt like an eternity to me.

[raadytits]

It really annoys me the way diving tourists sign up for 30m+ wreck dives etc. when they are clearly not able/experienced enough to do them, and then expect the dive master to guide them through it when they screw up and start panicking. If you know your not experienced to do it and look after yourself, don't do it.

[borismannsfeld]

Belize is great. we just moved to Placencia and love it! We re going to dive the blue Hole on New YEars eve. Can't wait.

[ziskanitzsche]

Who was the dive buddy? and where was the buddy?

[norecalico]

amazing

[archit145]

this thing is in ripleys believe it or not

[MessiiG]

the hole is 412 feet deep likea 4 story building

[DecoyDuncan]

Wow! You must have some amazing buildings where you live with 100 foot ceilings...

[p1z7]

Exactly. as i hear that it sound stupid. How a 4 story building gonna be around 400 ad feet

[celebrityfan1990]

hm! that blue hole is deeper than 4 story building

it is like a 25 or 30 story building in depth

[1234567jelly]

@MessiiG a 4 story building is 40 to 50 feet tall ! the hole is closer to a 40 story plus building !

[MessiiG]

@1234567jelly i meant to say 40 i forgot to add the 0 : (

[MsBubblvicious]

I love livin in Belize.

[ELGQZ]

how far down is this hole?

[MsBubblvicious]

Its really deep

[MERCE006]

if you use common sense and stay within your dive limits problems like this should never occur....But this is proof that people are retarted

[yayyay92]

AAA!!!! shark 1:59

[yayyay92]

im scared

[alex377687]

i only got 4 dives in and went reef diving but im only 14 so that explains it lol we werent able to do the blue hole because of the little time we spent there *Sad face* hope to see it again!

[mcunderground12]

I dove this last year at age 15 with my parents. I only had 20 dives logged and I did it no problem. We dove with Amigos dive shop in San Pedro and hit a max depth of 140 ft. I didn't think there was anything challenging about the dive. There is NO current. I didn't even need a wet suit, i just went in my trunks. This is a great dive and i would recomend it to anyone. Breath taking scenery

[paronfisk]

Pretty careless of your guides.

[selfatrophy]

Decent dive, we stayed out on the reef and got there long before the punters turned up from the mainland.

Max depth was about 35 metres, you can quickly drop that deep because the visibilty was decent and the natural architecture so massive!

Unfortunately, we surfaced to more than friendly Bull Sharks who were circling us because the fuckwits who had turned up chummed the water. Me and my dad surfaced back-to-back as a result.

Got some photos of The Blue Hole in the air, too, great experience

[wijayane]

What's the skill of diving level one should

have/possess to dive to Blue Hole?

Looks really fantastic !

[paronfisk]

I would recommend Padi AOW or equal, and at least 50+ dives. But I bet you can go shallower with less experience and have a great dive too.

[gabitinu]

yes scary maybe have 1 big fish there moster for locnes uuuu scary:D

[MsBubblvicious]

That noise is irritating

[shannonjon22]

EVERYONE is narced at 100ft. Some handle it better than others. By furiously kicking and being negative in buoyancy this diver is showing that he/she may be too narced to realize that they need to add air to the bc. Blue Fins may have made it back to the surface, but endangered themselves, the dive masters, and the other divers in the group in the process.

[jobeus]

I've updated the description of the video, since this was talked about more than a few times by others. Come back and read it, I'd say it wasn't her fault. :)

[shannonjon22]

"Not her fault". True, to a certain degree. This is what is known as a "trust me dive". New divers don't know what they don't know and blindly trust the dive master to keep them safe but not taking responsibility for their own dive plans. This is an advanced dive and should NOT be attempted by newly certified or out-of-practiced divers. The dive ops are negligent for not only allowing it, but encouraging it. It's all about the money.

[shannonjon22]

A lack of buoyancy control is what happens when the dive ops take unqualified divers 140ft and expect them to dive the plan safely.

[Lehmann108]

WTF is up with blue fin kicking like a idiot. Put some air in your BCD before all your air is gone!

[delele34]

scary hole

[delele34]

too deep!

[thinisin]

Blue fins is weighted too heavily, hence all the kicking. What depth were you at? I dropped down to about 140ft and narc'ed at around 120-130. Not much going on in the old Blue, haha. When I was there it looked alot less blue at the depth I was at.

[steezmcnasty]

i grew up in the caribbean and hit every spot there is to down there but this is somethign that is just unbelievable..how far down did you go and is is true that people are dead down there/hammerheads patrol the walls? (i have to go here!) B.V.I. was some of the best. i narced out at around the same at 130ish went to 140 i think. we did a night dive and me and my buddies were just covered in glowsticks. good times.

keep on diving man just be safe

[shannonjon22]

Yes, there are dead people down there. It is extremely expensive to retrieve the bodies so they will rest w/ Neptune eternally.

[keriah17]

that looks awesome

[mike3yo]

diver with blue fin must lose a belt bearing to reach equilibrium.. what a noob.. jk

[superfast30]

Diver with the blue fins has some serious buoyancy control issues!

[SkwisgaarProductions]

my friend said nobody knows how deep it is.

[mike3yo]

nah it's 120 metres deep. Jacques-Yves Cousteau charted it in 1971.

[Yoga1978]

140. Just watched it on TV. A woman who's a free diver.

I'm going there, but I'm not planning to dive the blue hole. It's so scary and it also look like nothing is happening. Seeing from this and lots of other vids.

[alsananick]

Human Remains Are 355 Feet Deep Inside Blue Hole

Fri, December 5, 2008

a headline of the online news website..

its a no go zone for me...

[zacharyhoyt]

how deep is that ?

[kambingbetula]

wow..beautiful, but scary for me..

have you try to go deeper?,what in there?

[xvaall]

scuba equipment and other divers remaining, no jokes. other than that its a nice place :)

[IslandMultimedia]

Nice.

[RMR2ENG]

The blue fins diver is strugling to balance the weight. looks dumb.

[AdamFromTheMoon]

Yea i see that too. She fuck up something and go to the bottom like a stone.And look the air she breath out, if the balance was ok se didnt move this much and use this much air.I bet she go to the surface with someones octopus..

[iluvuhunnybunny]

this is scary....but...must be excited to be diving in that deep...

[diva2898]

it looks scary. i lub belize though. expecially cey calker.

[erictjie]

somewhere in raja ampat at depth of 35m-40m, there is a very big cave and dark , but we saw alot of weird things and also electric calms and i think more exciting than this.

[erictjie]

what is nice to dive in this hole?

i still prefer diving in my backyard- Raja Ampat or Komodo.
