"In June 2010, World champion free-diver Guillaume Néry dived to the end of the 202 metres[citation needed] Dean's Blue Hole, filmed entirely on breath hold by the french champion Julie Gautier". This sentence suggests that Nery's body reached the lowest point of the hole, at 202 meters of depth. A viewer's comment in a corresponding youtube video claims the following: "[..] From Guillaum...To clarify: this movie is A FICTION AND AN ARTISTIC PROJECT. I don't claim to have reached the bottom of the hole (202m) without rope and fins, as the world record in no-fins discipline is 95m. [...]" , which suggests that Nery's body did not reach the lowest point of the hole, at 202 meters of depth. If this source is trustful, maybe the wording in the wikipedia text could be changed, to make it explicitly clear Nery did not achieve a new world record in diving without rope and fins which is a factor of 2 beyond the current world record. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.130.106 (talk) 16:34, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just took that section out. I don't think it needs to report what didn't happen just because some people are confusing fiction with reality in a short movie they saw on youtube. 99.186.225.51 (talk) 13:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone have any historical information on when it was discovered, or who the hell is Dean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.55.38 (talk) 23:19, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's named after the Bahamian family that owns the property that it's located on. Iksnyrk (talk) 01:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
