DIVING IN BELIZE
Belize offers some of the most magnificent diving in the world. SCUBA fanatics from all corners of the globe visit Ambergris Caye to dive the Barrier Reef, the largest of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere and the second largest barrier reef in the world – second only to the Great Barrier Reef off the shores of Australia.
The Great Blue Hole of Belize was declared one of the top ten must-dive destinations in the world by Jacques-Yves Cousteau. The Great Blue Hole is described as a submarine cave or underwater sinkhole. Located near the center of Lighthouse Reef, the hole is circular in shape and almost 1000 feet wide and just over 400 feet deep.
Whether you dive the Great Blue Hole or one of the many other dive sites of Belize, you are sure to see a vast array of sea life including giant groupers, nurse sharks, Caribbean reef shark, blacktip shark, sting rays, spotted eagle rays and blue tang to name a few.
If you are a snorkeller, SCUBA diver or interested in obtaining your SCUBA Open Water Certificate, Belize is the place for you. The coastal waters of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye are shallow and warm and present the perfect conditions for learning how to dive, while at the same time offering challenging and rewarding dive spots for the more accomplished divers.
