Discovery to Broadcast Live From The Bottom Of One Of The Largest Submerged Sink Holes In The World

Located 46 miles off the coast of Belize, the Blue Hole is known around the world for its crystal-clear water and its abundance of sharks and sea life. But this remote spot has only ever been fully explored once – back in 1971 by legendary ocean expert Jacques Cousteau himself. But what mysteries lie at the greatest depth of this ancient sink hole that is millions of years old? To find out, Discovery has tapped a team of the world’s leading explorers  who will venture down to its bottom in a fully-manned submersible and document its findings. The members of the on-board exploration team will include businessman/philanthropist Sir Richard Branson; Fabien Cousteau, grandson of Jacques Cousteau and Erika Bergman, the submersible’s pilot. This LIVE Epic 2-Hour Special, ‘DISCOVERY LIVE: INTO THE BLUE HOLE,’ will Premiere Monday, December 3, 2:30 AM on Discovery and Around the World. A repeat of the show will be broadcast on December 3, Monday at 8:00 PM in India on Discovery and Discovery HD World.
