Can you drivefrom antigua guatamala to Belize?

Yes it is possible, in that there are public roads. The first time I did it was in 1983, on a bus from Flores to Belize City, through Belmopan. You may want to find out from your embassy/consulate how safe those roads are (from thieves, hijackers, kidnappers, etc.) before you get on them. The most basic precaution in this part of the world is to only drive during the daytime and during "peak" hours when there is most traffic.

What is scuba diving in the blue hole in Belize like?

The Blue Hole was caused by the roof of an underwater cave collapsing. The water surrounding the opening is relatively shallow, but the floor of the cave is over 400 feet deep. A typical dive starts by descending along the wall of the collapse to a depth of about 130 feet where you can then swim around the stalactites hanging from what was the ceiling of a once dry cave. The stalactites are huge, but relatively unimpressive, and the depth means you spend your time plastered to the ceiling. Gray rock with little natural light and no coral (not enough water movement) makes this a been-there-done-that dive in my book.

Bottom time goes fast as does your air at this depth, so back up past more boring rock until you reach the sandy bowl of the crater's bottom to finish your safety stop. If you go to Belize to go diving, you almost have to dive the Blue Hole, but if you're like me, it won't be on your "must do again" list.
