A shuttle eases off the coastal road and the scent of salt and green citrus rides the air. At the Blue Hole Mineral Spring the water sits a clear, cold blue — a wide pool fed from limestone veins where ropes hang from trees and local guides leap from branches to the surface below. The water dares you to float, to swim to the drop-off and, if you choose, to climb and jump.
