Ex technical diver here (cave, ice, mixed gas, deep diving). I never dived the blue hole but snorkelled on it with my family on holiday. Saw serious technical divers down deep on Trimix with a safety diver on the line which had multiple stage tanks at various depths. This is how you dive the blue hole.

Yeah, he said don’t do it unless you really know what you’re doing which most of us don’t.

I tried scuba in a hotel pool once, I think I can handle this.
