Belize is a tropical country on the northeastern coast of Central America. To the west lies the Caribbean Sea. As you venture inward, you’ll discover lush rainforests, mountains and Mayan archaeological sites.

Belize is a wall diver’s paradise adorned with huge crimson gorgonians and giant orange elephant ear sponges. The Belize Barrier Reef sits just miles off the coast and is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef in the world.

The reef’s 400 cays, three atolls and seven marine reserve areas make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stretches over 190 miles in length.

The waters in Belize are rich, clear, blue and warm, offering great conditions for beginners and some exciting diving for the more advanced diver. You’ll find an abundance of coral gardens, sponges, reef sharks, rays and small reef fish. The best diving in Belize is found on the surrounding cays, and no dive trip to Belize would be complete without a visit to the Blue Hole.

Originally a limestone cave, the Great Blue Hole flooded and collapsed thousands of years ago in the Ice Age, becoming the watery abyss it is today. Located at the center of Lighthouse Reef, 60 miles off the coast of Belize, it is the world’s largest underwater sinkhole, measuring 984 feet wide by 410 feet deep.
