This is an aerial view of Dean's Blue Hole, near Clarence Town on Long Island, Bahamas. This water-filled sinkhole is the deepest known cave in the Bahamas, and the second deepest in the world, at 202 m.

See 'Carbon isotope and biostratigraphic evidence for an expanded Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum sedimentary record in the deep Gulf of Mexico' by Vimpere et al., p. 334-339.
