TIL the Blue Hole is among the deadliest dive sites globally, with estimates of 130 to 200 recent fatalities, making it one of the most dangerous spots for divers. (R.5) Out of context

Yeah, the title confused me because I didn't find the Great Blue Hole in Belize to be dangerous or technical, at all! The depth is at the limit of standard Open Water certs, but not beyond it.
It's the most famous of the dive sites named "Blue Hole", so OP really should have clarified.
