Prior to my visit to the Great Blue Hole, I had no idea that the reef extended all the way to the surface in some places – which means that even those averse to diving to great depths can experience the wonder and majesty of this stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I spent a good bit of time snorkeling the coral ringing the hole, and came face to face with all manner of incredible creatures, including turtles, rays, barracuda, and more. My dive and snorkel guides from the Blackbird Caye Resort were great resources on coral and fish identification trips, and made sure that I sink too deep without a tank on my back – ha!
