Belize Dive Sites

INNER REEF DIVE

The Inner Reef dive sites that we access from our dive center are Laughing Bird Caye National Park and Robert's Caye. When diving these sites you can expect to see fish such as spotted drums, blue tangs, wrasse, goby's and much more.  Here divers will find most of the gorgonians, known in the Caribbean as sea fans, seawips, sea plumes, sea rods as well as cleaner shrimps, yellow line arrow crab, southern stingrays, eagle rays and sometimes the possibility of seeing a manta ray swimming above. The inner reef dives are planned to a maximum depth of 60ft with water temperatures ranging from 79 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit and visibility of 70ft. These locations are perfect for novice divers and students doing their check out dives.

GLOVER'S REEF

Glover's Reef is a two hour boat ride from our Dive center, but you are certain to appreciate Glover's Reef with its crystal clear water and the abundance of sea creatures and reef fish. Glover's Reef is lotted off as a spawning ground for the Black and Nassau Groupers which add even more sea life to the dense traffic that is already there. You are sure to find yourself a turtle or two along the wall and brief visits from curious black tip reef sharks. While in Placencia this dive is a must do to get  a full appreciation of what we have to offer divers.

Lighthouse Atoll

Lighthouse Atoll is the host of the famous world heritage site and one of the most popular dive site in the country of Belize. The Blue Hole is a circular hole in the middle of Lighthouse reef atoll about a 1000 ft across and just a little over 400 ft deep. Divers will find coral only at the very top on the rim of the hole. The lack of sunlight prevents coral growth on the walls of the hole. At about 130ft divers can see huge stalactites hanging off the overhang also at this depth several reef sharks and occasionally bull sharks greet divers.

Gladden Split

Gladden split is home to the biggest fish in the ocean as we know it, The Whale Shark. Despite their size divers have nothing to worry about because they eat nothing bigger than plankton, baitfish or small squids. These giants visit this particular dive site annually between the months of April through June to feast on the spawn of snappers, namely the cuberas and mutton that congregate every year, giving divers the unique opportunity to dive along with these sharks.  This is an opportunity no diver should miss seeing. Gladden split is the only site you are allowed to dive with these sharks.

Ranguana Caye

The most southern getaway island in Belize, known for its great outside reef that is a great attraction for both diving and snorkeling is Ranguana Caye. While snorkeling you can see beautiful corals, colorful reef fishes, lobsters, nurse sharks and much much more. The dives at Ranguana includes dive sites such as Ranguana Grand Canyon and the ever popular Fox Hole, which is one of the most special wall dive you will find in Belize. The dept of the wall starts from 20ft to 30ft and goes to approximately 3000 ft with visibility of a 100 plus feet of crystal blue water , so don't be shock to see a hammerhead shark cruising along the reef edge!  Our first dive which is a wall dive is usually planned to a maximum depth of  100 ft followed by a Canyon dive to a depth of 50 ft with water temperatures ranging from 76-81 degrees Fahrenheit, so you can go in the water in a shorty wetsuit and be very comfortable. If you decide to bring the children along they can enjoy the beautiful sandy beach and ocean clear water.  We also have kayaks and beach fishing to add great fun to your adventure and to top it off enjoy our popular beach bar-be-que for lunch.
