I dont know if the area is geologically similar or not, but the sinkholes called cenotes in the Yucatán peninsula are all connected by underground conduits and aquifers that apparently lead out into the gulf of mexico eventually.
I saw a video clip in a scientific documentary sort of style about these a couple of years ago when the tech for mini-sub drone things was sufficiently advanced that you could put lights & cameras on probes and receive signals with enough strength to keep a networking link up. A lot of biological ecosystems and creatures never before seen, and enough open water that human divers and perhaps small vehicles could traverse.
But being the remnants of a meteor impact crater of that size... I dont think its very typical of other places.
