Blue Holes: What's Down There?
Ғылым және технология
Stark blue and almost perfectly round, blue holes have been described
as “pupils in the sea.” Because the technology required to explore a blue hole wasn't even developed until a few decades ago, all sorts of ideas abounded about what was down there.
In 2018, OceanX became the first team since Jacques Cousteau to voyage to the bottom of Belize's Great Blue Hole-considered one of the best diving sites in the world-and bring back some footage of this incredible "underwater cathedral."

0:52 “At the time there was no way of knowing how far down that would be (It was 410 feet)” ...so you’re telling me Jacques Cousteau had the technology to build a submarine but couldn’t drop a few hundred feet of fishing line from a boat to measure how deep it was?

I'm very lucky to have done a scuba dive in the Blue Hole... (all 8 minutes of it). It's a big hole. :) about 1 mile in diameter, 410ft deep and around the edge are the huge stalactites you see in the film.
If the project aim to be scientific, could you use International System of Units, and give meters rather than feet ? Thanks ..

It really doesn't matter if you're not doing calculations.
We know that there is many terraces with caves and cavern filled with stalactites and stalagmites at veritable layers from the bottom up. This means that the seas have been rising for a while now with extreme and sudden flooding events happening at various times that seems to agree with the ice ages in the past just like now today.

I like the 🎥 so clearly capture the details of cathedral. I’ll never have a chance to be here...
Who else had to pause or rewind because the text goes away quiker then you can read it!?!?

You must not be very bright in the head to not be able to read the full texts. They really aren’t that fast.
1:00 "While we didn't find a palace" haha good one.
Continuation please!!!!!!!

Is there any way you could use “meter” aswell not only “feet” please? Many of us are not from the US.
Like content and thumbnails ❤️
they only showed the cathedral. they didnt show the rest of the underwater city.
SHARKTOPUS!
I'm not sure that jauques team had no way of knowing how deep it was because the Marianas trenches depth was first recorded as a couple thousand feet by a fathomer on board a Spanish gunboat in the early 1600s the reason they didn't hit the bottom was because they didn't have enough rope on board, also jauques missions were in the 60s right? We had sonar tech
Oh I wanted to become an oceanographer...
How deep is the Blue Hole in Belize?

Yes! Or sometimes known as the lusca.
Blimey if it was 400+ feet above sea level then the ice age came & then it sunk - what would happen if / when another ice age comes along ???? Most of the land will vanish 😱
Thy say that there was No water in the blue hole Belize Some twenty thousand Years ago. So if this is True then we all have a Big problem!!!🇮🇹
So no ones talking about octo-shark? Bruh
I'm expecting to see the bottom
So they went down there and all they did was look at the cave walls
Looks pretty much dead
A bit anticlimactic...?
Как в субнаутике
Why is the vid so short? Barely worth watching.
Our future descendants will dive down and wondrously look at the heaping piles of trash we once called life on land.
