The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers.

Went there last year, didn't dive though (haven't got a diving licence)... beautiful place. Placencia further south is paradise too.
