Is the heavy water they need for the MASS Device at the bottom? Watch out for the worms.

Just south of there is really interesting on Google Maps.
Hundreds of little black squares someone has used to cover up objects. https://goo.gl/maps/i4Sa9e5e13Y7xGcb7 |

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.

First insights into an exceptionally deep blue hole in the Western Caribbean: The Taam ja’ Blue Hole |

View Quote If there’s a hwmocline doesn’t that mean there is a supply of fresh water? |

Quoted: 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. View Quote 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.

must have been discovered a while ago, because it's already marked on Google Earth.

It's the crater that FoxNews' ratings have created after firing Carlson.

Quoted: So it’s like a big cenote, but not inland? View Quote 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. |

Like just discovered? How long has it been and there and why wasn’t it discovered before? That seems like it would be a well traveled route.
