Belize
Scuba diving has remained a great adventure as one gets a chance to plunge into deep waters, swim and explore marine life. However, there are only few sites in the world that are ideal for both recreational and professional divers – most of them are found in Belize.

Belize in Central America is mainly famous for holding Maya ruins, but its picturesque and breathtaking landscapes and sites have made this part of the world a popular tourists’ destination. Likewise, it possesses some deep and one-of-a-kind water bodies too, which make Belize a utopia for divers and snorkelers.

Amidst many diving spots in Belize, following are most notable:

Caye Caulker

Caye Caulker offers an unparalleled diving experience to diving enthusiasts. The snorkeling sites here are easily accessible and less crowded, which enhance the divers’ experience. The sea life here and in the surrounding sites is abundant and varied where one will find different species of fish and myriad of colorful coral formations.

Ambergris Caye
This island was built by Mayans, which is located off the coast of Northern Belize. Not only this island provides access to the barrier reef, it is a great site for divers and snorkelers. While your visit here, you can also explore Ambergris’s main town, San Pedro as well as as Hol Chan Marine Reserve, which also serves as an excellent snorkeling destination.
Moreover, this island offers most favorable conditions for snorkelers and divers, which makes this caye a popular diving site in Belize.

Gladden Spit
Located in Southern Belize, Gladden Spit is a famous diving spot. This site is a breeding place for various marine species and is home to whale sharks. Divers and snorkelers visiting here in the months of March to June could sight Whale Sharks often since they tend to cruise close to surface.

The Barrier Reef

The barrier reef is another unmatched site for diving, sea kayaking, and snorkeling. This site teems with tropical fish and incredible and colorful diversity of corals. In addition, it is one of the most diverse ecosystems of the world containing hundreds of fish and invertebrate species. Thus, those who want to have an encounter with large diversity of plants and marine creatures, they can plunge into this reef.

The Great Blue Hole

For an excellent snorkel adventure, the Great Blue Hole serves a great destination. This circular shaped body of water is around 400 ft. deep and is considered as one of the top scuba diving sites on this planet. To date, thousands of divers have visited and dived here. The presence of fringing reefs in the surrounding makes this largest underwater sinkhole look more fascinating.

Located off the coast of Belize, this site, too, is home to many underwater creatures.

Belize teems with natural beauty and biodiversity. Where tourists have many attractions here, divers and snorkelers can have a lifetime experience at these sites. While they can dive and swim, they can explore myriad of marine creatures.
