Multiple Blue Holes

Whether you realize this or not, not all caves are located in a terrain setting as several caves are found underwater. In the Bahamas, this is the highest density found in caves in just one location as there are over 200 caves in this area. This is the premise behind why they’re called Blue Holes. The caves can easily be distinguished from above as their hue is different from the ocean blue color surrounding them. While most underwater caves stand untouched, this doesn’t necessarily apply to all.
