Some scientists believe there may be openings in the chamber connecting Dean’s Blue Hole to the Atlantic Ocean, which can potentially “cause unforeseen currents and thermal layers that could interfere with underwater operations,” according to the company.One of the biggest challenges will be the pressure at the floor of the hole which will be almost 300 pounds per square inch — about 20 times more than what’s on the surface. Locals believe that Dean’s Blue Hole is a portal to hell.

The 663-foot dive into the hole is far shallower than the wreckage of the Titanic, which is more than 12,500 below the surface of the North Atlantic.: Rush, 61, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, and tourists Hamish Harding, 58, businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son, Suleman Dawood, 19.
