It’s not far from it, but this is on the eastern side of the Yucatán peninsula. The Chicxulub crater is on the Northwestern side of the peninsula. I’m not equipped to weigh in on if it may be related, though.
That peninsula is always up to something
Yeah that's basically was going to be my next question, curious if it's just the aftermath of such a huge impact with the Earth kind of thing.

Why do your comments have a license attached to them?
Its an anti Commercial-AI license. Basically to try to limit bots and prevent my comments being used to program AI models.

Blue holes are generally created via similar methods to sink holes. Basically sandstone erosion, also I dont think an impact like that would leave any cave systems. Remember that asteroid was about the size of Texas, im pretty sure most things in the region we're nuked and I cant imagine much more than a crater could be created.
Definitely not the size of Texas. Estimated 10-15 km across.
I'm not a planetary geologist, but I was just thinking more like afterwards, as the planet healed, and water shifted around.

I can actually correct myself, apparently at the edge of the crater sink holes do form. But I still suspect the two are pretty much unrelated due to distance.
