Taam Ja' blue hole is an underwater sinkhole located in Chetumal Bay at the southeast corner of the Yucatán Peninsula. Its name means deep water in the Mayan language and, at over 420 metres (1,380 ft) deep, it is the deepest known blue hole .
Mexico's Taam Ja' Blue Hole is the deepest known underwater sinkhole in the world, researchers have discovered — and they haven't even reached the bottom yet.
Sinkholes don't just happen on land, they also happen in the ocean where they're known as blue holes. And now, researchers say they've found the deepest one yet on the planet – one so large that...
Taam Ja' Blue Hole is off the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula - close to where the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs struck 66 million years ago. It was thought to be 275m below...
The Taam Ja' Blue Hole, which was first discovered in 2021, was originally thought to be 900 feet deep, but according to new research published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science,...
A small team of oceanographers from several institutions in Mexico has found evidence that the Taam Ja' Blue Hole in Mexico's Chetumal Bay, on the eastern side of the Yucatán Peninsula, is the...
This staggering discovery means that the Taam Ja’ Blue Hole is the deepest underwater sinkhole known to science — and nearly 400 feet deeper than the previous record-holder, the Sansha Yongle Blue Hole in the South China Sea, also known as the “Dragon Hole,” which extends 987 feet below sea level.
Taam Ja’ was deeper than Dragon’s Hole in China – the previous record holder for deepest blue hole in the world. Across the Yucatan Peninsula, a limestone platform sits beneath the landscape, contributing to the formation of cenotes and blue holes with a shared geological origin.
Located in Chetumal Bay in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, the Taam Ja’ (“deep water” in Mayan) blue hole was recently recognized as the deepest blue hole on the planet, beating out...
This study revealed a previously unknown maximum water depth for the Taam ja’ Blue Hole, as it is now named, of 274.4 meters below sea level (mbsl), making it the second deepest known blue hole in the world.
