Dubbed Taam ja’ — which means “deep water” in Mayan — this behemoth blue lagoon spans an area of 147,000 square feet with a depth of 900 feet,

That is not a lot of surface area for the depth. Impressive.

Salt water is mores dense. The fresh would float to top pretty quickly.

Just south of there is really interesting on Google Maps.

Hundreds of little black squares someone has used to cover up objects.

Sinkholes can be strange that way. Bushman's Hole, Pozzo del Merro. Both are astoundingly deep.

I wonder how this one was undiscovered before now? You'd think it'd show up on a satellite photo clear as day.

I've done the Blue Hole in Long Island, Bahamas.

I thought it was the deepest at over 600 feet.

I can tell you that it gave me an unsettling feeling. When the tide comes in the hole sucks you towards it.

I probably went down about 30 feet snorkeling. My wife, girlfriend at the time wasn't having it. As soon as we got there I could tell she immediately had the creeps and it gave me pause because I was so excited. But she was correct something wasn't right. It is beautiful though.

Quite a few deep holes around Bacalar, but nothing like that one. Curious if there is a freshwater flow up or if it is all saltwater.

It wasn’t discovered by the right people is more accurate. I am sure the locals knew all about it.

Maybe that's where the Atlanteans hid the other copy of the Akashic records. We already know they put one copy under one of the Sphinx paws. The other is supposed to be somewhere in the Yucatán.

The monstrous creature’s appearance, to say nothing of the confounding eyes framed by its fearsome visage, was so terrible that, gazing upon it, transfixed, the most courageous of the group were immediately rendered insensate.

Blue holes in the Western Caribbean have been less investigated (e.g. Gischler et al., 2013; Baremore et al., 2021; Schmitt et al., 2021), in comparison to the well-known literature on karstic structures from cenotes (inland sinkholes) in the Yucatán Peninsula (e.g. Perry et al., 2009; Bauer-Gottwein et al., 2011). However, a system of cenotes have developed near the border between Mexico and Belize with water depths in the range of 40-90 m (Perry et al., 2009; Bauer-Gottwein et al., 2011), together with submerged blue holes, reported by Carrillo et al. (2009b), with depths up to 42 m inside the shallow tropical estuary of Chetumal Bay. In September of 2021 an expedition to the location of a blue hole of unknown depth in the bay was carried out in collaboration with Jesus Artemio Poot Villa (personal communication, March 15, 2021), a local fisherman.
