Scuba Diving in Belize, Central America

One of the four must-dive locations on this blue planet,” was how renowned oceanographer Jacques Cousteau described Belize. Belize is home to the largest barrier reef in the western hemisphere and the second largest in the world, and boasts three of only four coral atolls in the Caribbean.

Commonly referred to as a magnificent and unrivaled destination for scuba diving and snorkeling, Belize attracts enthusiasts from around the globe. Divers and snorkelers alike encounter a diverse and abundant selection of marine life as well as a kaleidoscope of color, in a variety of locations spanning the length of this 185-mile Belize Barrier Reef.

This includes subterranean coral gardens featuring over 70 types of hard corals, nearly 500 species of fish, the distinguished Blue Hole, playful dolphins, fascinating whale sharks, subdued sea turtles and graceful eagle rays.

With visibility usually extending hundreds of feet, diverse dive sites and extensive marine life, Belize will not disappoint even the most discerning diver or snorkeler.
