The Great Blue Hole - Located near the center of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, approximately 70 km (43 miles) from Belize City, the Great Blue Hole is a massive marine sinkhole renowned for its deep indigo color and circular shape. Measuring over 300 meters in diameter and about 124 meters deep, it was formed during the last Ice Age when sea levels were significantly lower. The site gained international fame after Jacques Cousteau's 1972 expedition, which highlighted its unique geological formations, including stalactites and stalagmites. Today, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a bucket-list destination for divers worldwide.

This is the first paragraph box on top... he login screen is looking okay, but there are a few more style changes that still need to be added. For one thing, the logo is still fairly small. I’d also like to change the colors of the background and form elements to match the Elegant Themes brand a bit more. Finally, the typography of the form can also be tweaked a bit.

The Hol Chan Marine Reserve was established as a marine protected area in 1987 under the Fisheries Act (Statutory Instrument # 57) Laws of Belize. It incorporates the southernmost marine and coastal areas of Ambergris Caye including the barrier reef, seagrass beds and the mangrove islands of Boca Chica and Cangrejo Shoals. A zoning scheme was developed in order to ensure sustainable use and guarantee its conservation. Hol Chan is divided into four zones which include no-take areas and zones that regulate and promote sustainable fishing practices.
In September of 1999, Hol Chan Marine Reserve was extended to include an area called Shark Ray Alley. This zone is located immediately south of zone A and represents 2 sq miles of coral reef and seagrass bed habitat. The main attraction in this site is the opportunity to snorkel with Nurse Sharks and Southern Sting Rays. Additionally, the site possesses spectacular coral formations in the back reef for snorkelers and on the reef for Scuba divers.
