    This is just one of the beautiful spots at Glassi. It is a sight to behold and a wonderful area for picnicking. Just look out for the waves. This hole is big enough for at least 5 people with a bigger hole for more.

    this hole is located at Glassie Point in Boetica. It is about four feet deep with similar length. it can be very treacherous since the cruel atlantic enters with brute force. do not enter when the sea is rough. There are two other pools located in the vicinity which are much larger. one is of bathing quality since the sea constantly cleans it.

    Quite a lovely photo. DNO can you do some research via the Met office perhaps in order to satisfy the curiousity our your readers and for general knowledge. The temperature, how safe it is to explore, width, legth etc. That would be much appreciated.

    This is a beautiful photo with blue waters. It is a lovely view. The crater is enticing but it may be dangerous. I wonder what is underneath and how deep it is. As an afterthought, are there fishes in the crater? If any, a long fishing pole could be placed in there to catch them. :)

    This is simply spectacular phenomenon. How could such a dramatic geographical formation been a secret in little Dominica for soo long.

    If this is harnessed and marketed properly it could bring millions to Boetica.

    DNO it would be nice if we could get a bit more details like depth, width, fauna, temperature etc

  10. December 4, 2012

      Just be mindful that are deeper, wetter and possibly sweeter (based on the water and size of the hole) than others 8)!
