The first dive into the Blue Hole feels like stepping into a secret someone forgot to tell the map about. Dense green slopes lean over a chain of limestone sinkholes where water pours from ledges into pockets of mineral-tinted blue. Guides call out from the rocks, encouraging nervous laughter; children and grown-ups trade places at the rope swing, timing their release for the splash. Flat, dark ledges give way to deep, clear pools that dare you to jump again.
