In 2023, a team of scientists from the National Council of Humanities, Sciences and Technologies, and its Public Center El Colegio de la Frontera Sur made an exciting discovery in the Taam ja’ blue hole in Chetumal Bay, Quintana Roo. The measurements revealed that the blue hole is the deepest of its kind in the world, with a depth of 420 meters below sea level.
The Taam ja’ blue hole has a morphology similar to that of a cenote, with brackish or marine characteristics and being completely submerged. The scientists used the Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) profiler instrument to understand the characteristics of the water column inside the blue hole. They identified significant variations in temperature and salinity, different water layers, and transition zones. These characteristics suggest the likely existence of underground connections between the bay and the Caribbean Sea through the hole.
While this discovery is impressive on its own, it’s not all that scientists are talking about these days.
