FormationA blue hole is a water-filled sinkhole with the entrance below the water level. They can be formed in different karst processes, for example, by rainwater soaking through fractures of limestone bedrock onto the watertable. Sea level here has changed: for example, during the glacial age during the Pleistocene epoch (ice age), some 15,000 years ago, sea level was considerably lower. Dean's Blue Hole is roughly circular at the surface, with a diameter ranging from {{convert|25|to(-)|35|m|ft}}. After descending {{convert|20|m|ft}}, the hole widens considerably into a cavern with a diameter of {{convert|100|m|ft}}. Since April 2008, it has been the venue for Vertical Blue, the annual freediving international competition organised by William Trubridge.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite journal |last=Wilson |first=William L. |year=1994 |title=Morphometry and Hydrology of Dean's Blue Hole, Long Island |url=http://md1.csa.com/partners/viewrecord.php?requester=gs&collection=TRD&recid=200134004886CE&q=&uid=789045883&setcookie=yes |dead-url=yes |journal=Bahamas Journal of Science |volume=2 |issue=1 |pages=10–14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307184630/http://md1.csa.com/partners/viewrecord.php?requester=gs&collection=TRD&recid=200134004886CE&q=&uid=789045883&setcookie=yes |archive-date=7 March 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web |title=Events |url=http://events.verticalblue.net/ |publisher=Vertical Blue |accessdate=4 July 2018}} External links
