Scientists have identified what could potentially be the “deepest known blue hole” in the world, extending so far down that the bottom has not yet been reached.
Researchers described how the underwater abyss’s extensive depths could harbor a “biodiversity to be explored” in a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science.
Indeed, new measurements taken during a December scuba-diving expedition indicate that the Taam Ja’ Blue Hole (TJBH), located in Chetumal Bay off the Yucatan Peninsula, extends at least 1,380 feet (420 meters) below sea level — nearly the height of Trump Tower in Chicago. That’s 480 feet deeper than the previous record holder, the Sansha Yongle Blue Hole, aka the Dragon Hole, in the South China Sea, which measures 990 feet to the bottom. Known in scientific circles as Karst formations, blue holes are actually vertical marine caves that were carved over thousands of years by glacial runoff during the Ice Age, according to Discovery.com.

She sounds like a firecracker! That call-out was a little daring, but I like the cut of her jib.
These “holes” are indeed fascinating.
Art Bell could have done a whole show about this hole.

That does note seem very deep in terms of ocean debts. It should be no problem to measure the depth. Actually all you need is a rope and a weight.
Same as it ever was...
😄
It's subtle.
It is where the UFO base is located.
So the Mariana Trench might not be the deepest place in the sea?
