Testimonials

My wife and I have done snorkelling excursions in places like Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican, and Thailand. Our 1/2 day outing to Hol Chan and Shark-Ray Alley were as good as any we have done. They provided 2 guides for 9 people. Carlos and Darrel were young, professional, attentive, fun, and didn’t work the topic of “tips” into the conversation, although they more than deserved extra $ and we obliged. It only took 10 minutes to get to the first site and 10 more to the second. Lots of coral and fish to see. Not overcrowded with other boats. If we had more time we would gladly take one of their other trips.

Went out today to Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley, with Carlos and Durell and we had an awesome experience. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, super friendly, patient, and easy to look at! We saw lots of great fish, and the Sharks and Rays were literally a few feet away. Would definitely recommend the company for snorkelling or diving out of San Pedro.

We booked them with our hotel help. We did two different snorkeling tours in two days. We had an Awsome guy his name is “D” we loved the way he took care of all of us. Their dock was destroyed, They worked very hard to get all tours going asap after hurricane Earl. Thank you for all your hard work. We had a really good time thank you again for that.

Our 14 year old son performed his final check off dive with Enez and she was awesome. She was the perfect person to keep him calm and to ensure that he knew his stuff. While he was performing his check off dives, my husband and I dove with the crew and just loved their attention to taking care of our dive equipment and making sure we enjoyed every minute of the dives. I will definitely use them when we go back.

We spent 5 days of our 7 day visit to the island diving with Belize Diving Adventures. We were diving with our young kids (11 and 12) and had great dives and experiences with everyone. The kids left comfortable divers despite fairly rough conditions. The reef is very close literally a 5 minute boat ride off the dock with surface intervals back on the dock. We recently vacationed in Hopkins and were very happy with the location of the reek off the island. The reef off Hopkins is 45 min to an hour off Hopkins. The reef was awesome and full of nurse sharks, rays, grouper and turtles. They limit the size of the group – the most we had on a dive was 10 divers. We will return to the island and wouldn;t dive with anyone but Belize Diving Adventures.

Day-na  Schelay

My husband and I just returned from 10 UnBelizeable days in Placencia, and Seahorse made our trip! We had planned on diving a lot and were able to dive 4 days, 3 of which were 3 tank dives, inside and outside of the reef.The family-run business has Brian in the office, Capt Sean at the helm, and Harry and Max as their expert dive masters. The Seahorse crew are all incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate, and helped facilitate our love of Belize, not only underwater but on land as well. We dove safely, laughed and learned a lot, and felt like part of the family by the end of our time. We cannot highly recommend Seahorse enough! They were original in the village, and their longevity is apparent from the customer service, great food during surface intervals, and fantastic dives! Looking forward to getting back!

I did their blue hole trip at the end of December and the crew was great! They pointed out great fish for me to take pictures of and kept us entertained on our 3hr boat out to the dive site. They keep their gear clean and I had a problem with my regulator before the dive and they knew how to fix it quickly. The divemasters did a great job keeping the group together! I recommend them to anyone who wants to do a dive in Belize go with these guys!

Imagine diving along the reefs edge with nearby turtles, manta rays, or friendly nurse sharks. Here you can find shallow, clear coral gardens and reefs or steep drop-offs into the deep waters of the Caribbean. A natural aquarium teeming with marine life, there is always a wealth of underwater riches in our Caribbean paradise.

Let us show you how to truly experience the best diving adventures and resort amenities on our little patch of heaven. At Belizean Dreams Resort, we cater to certified scuba divers of any experience level with our abundance of dive tours to special sites in Belize. Not certified  or need a refresher?

The Great Blue Hole & Lighthouse Reef Tour

Explore a contender of the eight wonders of the world, the Belize Blue Hole.

Located off the coast of Belize within the Lighthouse Reef Atoll, the Belize Blue Hole is a perfectly circular underwater sinkhole. What was previously a limestone cave system, is now one of the most unique natural creations known as the Belize Blue Hole. As sea levels rose during the last Ice Age, the cave flooded and its roof collapsed into this sinkhole resulting in a marine wonder known for its sparkling blue waters, wealth of coral formations, sharks, and fish, and deep caves filled with stalactites.

Where to Stay in Belize

Diving in Belize | Belize coral reefs

Belize is a tiny country located in Central America squeezed between Mexico to the north, Guatemala to the west and south, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. It is easily navigable by car, spanning just 174 miles north to south, with its widest point 68 miles long.  

Despite its small geographic footprint, Belize offers one of the largest reef systems in the world – The Belize Barrier Reef – second only to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. At 190 miles long, the Belize Barrier Reef is longer than the country itself and is even designated as a world heritage site.

Beyond its beautiful diving opportunities, Belize also offers visitors a chance to explore cultural heritage sites and natural wonders. One can explore the various Mayan ruins, including Xunantunich, Cahel Pech, and Caracol, as well as the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave, which Natural Geographic named the #1 sacred cave in the world.

If hiking is more your thing, the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary has you covered with waterfalls, rainforest views, and a ton of wildlife to take in. 

So, if you are looking for a place where you can combine some of the world’s best diving with unique mainland activities, Belize may be the right place for your next getaway.

Diving in Belize | Elkhorn Coral on the Belize Barrier Reef

Experts continuously rank the Belize Barrier Reef as one of the best scuba diving locations in the world . Located just off the mainland of Belize, the reef offers a tremendous variety of dive sites. Below you can find some fun facts about the reef and what to expect when heading underwater for yourself.

The Belize Barrier Reef is 190 miles in length and is part of the larger Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, which spans 560 miles.

The reef is also the world’s largest double barrier reef (where one barrier reef is formed outside an existing one). There are only 6 of these in the world!

It is comprised of 400 cayes, 3 atolls (Lighthouse, Glovers, Turneffe), and 7 key marine reserve zones.

In 1996, the Belize Barrier Reef was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The reef is home to more than 500 species of fish and 100 species of coral all throughout the reef system.

It is home to The Great Blue Hole, a dream dive site for many scuba divers. At 1,043 feet wide and 407 feet deep, it makes for one incredible site to both dive into and see from above.

Diving in Belize | Sea turtle on the Belize Barrier Reef

Since Belize has a tropical climate with consistently warm temperatures all year round (75 to 81° F / 24 – 27° C), there are just 2 main seasons – wet and dry. The wet season runs from June to November and the dry season from December to May. 

I would recommend visiting Belize during dry season. Not only will you enjoy less rain, but there is a much lower likelihood that your dive will be impaired by rainy or overcast conditions which can impact underwater visibility. 

Having clear skies and sunlight shining down will brighten up the coral and marine life, noticeably enhancing your diving experience.

Belize Diving Tip: Do you want to dive with whale sharks?! Well, luckily whale sharks make their migration (right off the coast of Placencia) in the March – June time period. If you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, plan your diving trip in the spring right around the full moon for the month.

There are countless dive sites in Belize. Literally you cannot ride for more than 5 minutes on a boat in any direction before coming across another unique site to explore. Below are some of the most notable dive sites in Belize.

Scuba Diving in Belize | Trumpet fish and coral reef

In addition to the multitude of dive sites directly off the mainland, you will also find three atolls further out in the open water – Lighthouse, Glovers, and Turneffe.

Lighthouse Reef

Lighthouse Reef is about a 3-hour boat ride from San Pedro. There, you will find the famous Great Blue Hole (more details below). Beyond the Great Blue Hole, Lighthouse Reef also offers several other pristine dive sites full of sharks, rays, and eels.

Turneffe Reef

Another popular day trip option is to head out to Turneffe Reef, about a two-hour boat ride from San Pedro. There, you will find some of the more untouched dive spots in the region. Trips to Turneffe are not run daily by every dive shop, so if you are interested, be sure to consult with the dive shop beforehand to get a better sense of their schedule.

Glovers Reef

Lastly, you have Glovers Reef, located much further south than the previous two reefs. Accordingly, you will need to base yourself in Placencia and then take a two-hour boat ride to reach it. Of these three reefs, Glovers Reef is probably the least visited only because of its distance from San Pedro. So if looking for a dive spot off the beaten path, Glovers Reef could fit the bill.

Scuba Diving in Belize | The Great Blue Hole Diving

The Great Blue Hole

The Great Blue Hole in Belize is probably the most well known underwater formations in the world. At 1,043 feet wide and 407 feet deep, it is one of the largest sinkholes ever discovered. A dive down the Great Blue Hole is on many divers’ bucket list, and for good reason! 

Don’t expect to find an abundance of aquatic life or coral down there though. Instead, you will encounter massive stalactite formations that were formed over thousands of years. Since you will be heading down 130 feet (40 meters), the dive will not last much more than 30 minutes, including a longer than usual safety stop.

As the Great Blue Hole is located within the larger Lighthouse Reef, a day trip there will also include two additional dives in the atoll and lunch on an island. You can expect a Blue Hole day trip to look something like this:

5:30 AM: Registration at Dive Shop

6:00 AM: Departure

8:45 AM: Preparation & Blue Hole Dive

10:30 AM: Lighthouse Reef Dive #1

12:00 PM: Lighthouse Reef Dive #2

1:00PM: Lunch

2:00PM: Return to San Pedro

4:30PM: Arrive in San Pedro

There are limited operators that organize day trips to the Great Blue Hole. If you decide to dive with a company that does not offer the trip, they will refer you to a company that does.

Amigos del Mar (San Pedro) and Frenchies Diving Services (Caye Caulker) are two of the main dive operators that run this trip (provided enough sign-ups and adequate weather conditions).

Note: Since the Great Blue Hole is a more advanced dive and goes 130 feet underwater, not everyone can take part in the dive. Certain dive shops have different requirements, so be sure to check with them beforehand.

Scuba Diving in Belize | Shark Ray Alley

Hol Chan & Shark Ray Alley

Another famous dive trip available in Belize is the Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley combo. This half-day trip consists of one dive in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve followed by a snorkel in Shark Ray Alley.

The Hol Chan Marine Reserve is a marine protected area 15 minutes away from San Pedro that is packed with all types of marine life. Since the dive is pretty shallow (25-30 feet) you can expect longer than usual dive times (up to 60 minutes!) to really enjoy the vast underwater surroundings.

After diving Hol Chan, you will change into your snorkel gear and jump into Shark Ray Alley. As you can imagine, sharks and rays routinely frequent this spot. Fishermen have been known to throw their chum into the water here, which in turn attracts the sharks, rays and other fish. 

Now, every time a boat pulls up, the animals will swarm your boat looking for food. Jumping into the water and swimming among all these sharks and rays is one of the most unique experiences Belize has to offer. Don’t worry though, these sharks and rays won’t go after you so just keep some distance and enjoy the site!

Diving in Belize | Aquatic Life

When I first signed up to scuba dive for 5 days in Belize, I thought I may be overdoing it and that I would get bored diving at the same reef. But after more than 10 dives at the Belize Barrier Reef, all I could think about was how I could squeeze in more!

The diversity of fish and coral on each dive continued to amaze me time after time, and each dive had its own unique qualities. Whether it be the huge number of sharks right off of San Pedro or the moray eels slithering away in Lighthouse Reef, there was always something unique to take in.

With over 500 species of fish and 100 species of coral throughout the Belize Barrier Reef, there is always a chance to see different marine life from one dive to the next. 

Below are just some of the highlights of the marine life I encountered when diving in the Belize Barrier Reef.

Reef & Nurse Sharks

Puffer Fish

Trumpetfish

And plenty more!

The coral life was just as impressive. Some of the unique coral formations you are sure to come across are from Elkhorn to Sea Fans and everything in between, the Belize Barrier Reef will have it all.

Diving in Belize | Tube Coral

Whether you are a first-time diver or a dive master, Belize has something to offer you.

Below are some of the main options to choose from when heading off to Belize:

Two Tank Dives

The most popular choice for those that are already scuba certified is to head out on morning or afternoon two tank dives. During this half-day experience, you will make your way to two different dive sites along the Belize Barrier Reef and enjoy all that the underwater world has to offer.

Here is a quick overview of what to expect when heading off on a typical two tank dive day in San Pedro:

The day will start off at the dive shop around 8 AM, when you will be outfitted with your equipment and gear. From there you will head onto a small boat alongside your fellow divers and instructors (around 4 divers per instructor). The dive sites are within a 10-minute boat ride, so you should be there in no time.

Once you approach the dive site, your instructor will provide you with background on the upcoming dive, and what to expect down underwater. After the briefing, you will gear up and jump into the water.

You can expect these dives to last around 45 minutes and go to a maximum depth of 60 feet. 

After finishing up with your first dive, the boat will head back to the dive shop, where you can take a quick break and prep for the second dive of the day. You will then head back out on dive #2 to a new dive spot and enjoy another scuba diving experience on the Belize Barrier Reef.

Diving in Belize | Sea fan coral on the Belize Barrier Reef

Open Water Certification

For those that know they want to get Open Water certified, every dive shop will offer a multi-day course for certification. As an Open Water certified diver, you will be able to dive up to 60 feet underwater (18 meters) alongside another certified diver. 

The certification process is broken up in three main categories: classroom work, shallow water / pool sessions, and individual dives. 

You can complete your Open Water course by either:

Taking the entire certification in Belize over the course of 3-4 days; or

Taking the classroom sessions at home (through e-learning modules offeredby PADI), and then completing the shallow water / pool sessions and individual dives in Belize in as little as 2 days.

Advanced Open Water Certification

If you are already Open Water certified and are looking to take the next step in your diving career, you can select the Advanced Open Water certification (“AOW”).

Essentially, the AOW certification will comprise of 5 additional advanced dives (deep dive, underwater navigation, buoyancy, night dive, etc.). Once certified, you will be able to dive down to a depth of 100 feet, enabling you the opportunity to take some of the world’s most advanced dives.

The AOW certification can be completed in two days and all you need to do beforehand is complete some course work that you will be tested on outside and inside of the water.

Other Certifications

Not every dive shop will offer every certification out there, but you should have no problem finding a place that offers other more advanced certifications, such as Rescue Diver and Divemaster, along with specialty courses (Enriched Air Diver, Digital Underwater Photography, Night Diver, etc.) 

First-Time Diving Experience

If you have never been scuba diving before, a Discovery Dive (sometimes called a “Try Dive”) can be your perfect introduction to breathing underwater. This one-day course will teach you the basics of scuba diving outside of the water combined with some shallow water exercises so that you can practice basic skills and get a feel for what breathing underwater is like. 

After a morning of learning and practicing some shallow water exercises, you will head off to a dive site, where you will participate in an actual dive and witness the incredible Belize marine life for yourself.

Note: A discovery dive does not count towards any official certification. However, many dive shops will allow you to count your discovery dive towards your Open Water Cert if you decide to come back right away and do the course with them. Be sure to ask about this before you go!

To make the most of your diving experience in Belize, why not try a Liveaboard trip? Multi-day Liveaboard diving trips have recently become popular among divers who want to find a more immersive experience. On a Liveaboard trip you eat, sleep and dive for days on end, all while living on the ship.

With Liveaboard you will have the opportunity to visit the top dive sites in Belize, some of which cannot be reached on a typical day trip. This means you’ll experience diving in remote places that are untouched by most tourists.

Where to Stay in Belize for a Diving Trip

While the Belize Barrier Reef itself is big in size, there are really just a handful of locations to consider when deciding where to dive in Belize.

Scuba Diving in Belize | Ambergris Caye

Most dive shops you will come across are located on Ambergris Caye, Belize’s largest island, and particularly the island’s main town of San Pedro. Just minutes from San Pedro by boat you will find various dive sites, where you can dive right in and immerse yourself in the underwater world. 

San Pedro is a vibrant small town with plenty of restaurants, bars, and accommodations. You can stay right in the town center itself or head a bit further up or down the coast to some more secluded, high-end resorts. Whatever you decide, you really cannot go wrong.

Good to Know: If you are not located within the confines of San Pedro, some dive shops will remove any logistical hassle and send a golf cart or boat to pick you up from your hotel or a nearby dock.

From Belize City, where the main international airport is located, the two best options to get to Ambergris Caye are:

Flight: A 20-minute propeller plane will take you from Belize City to the San Pedro airport, right by the town center. Two airlines, Maya Island Air and Tropic Air, run multiple routes per day. A one-way ticket costs approximately $45 – $100 (depending on flight choice).

Boat: If you want to save some cash, you can hop in a 20-minute taxi from the Belize City airport to the city’s ferry terminal ($25 USD), and then take the 90-minute boat ride to San Pedro. Two major ferry companies, Belize Water Taxi and Ocean Ferry Belize, both run trips. 

Belize Water Taxi: $28 USD one-way / $38 USD round trip

Ocean Ferry Belize: $23 USD one-way / $35 USD round trip

Scuba Diving in Belize | Caye Caulker

Another ideal base location is the island of Caye Caulker, just a one-hour boat ride south from Belize City (or 30 minutes by boat from San Pedro). Caye Caulker is much less developed (I mean their main road isn’t even paved), but it comes with some of the best island vibes you can ask for. 

There are far fewer dive shop options in Caye Caulker, with just a handful to choose from. But if you are looking for a more laid-back atmosphere without sacrificing quality diving, then Caye Caulker may be your best bet.

Like San Pedro, you can reach Caye Caulker from Belize City by either flight or boat. 

One-way flights from Belize City cost approximately $60 – $80 and schedules are more limited than flights to San Pedro.  If you opt to take the ferry, ticket prices can be found below (+$25 USD to get from the airport to ferry terminal):

Belize Water Taxi: $18 USD one-way tickets / $28 USD round trip

Ocean Ferry Belize: $15 USD one-way tickets / $25 USD round trip

Scuba Diving in Belize | Placencia Belize

One more place to note is actually located on the mainland of Belize – Placencia. Located further south than San Pedro and Caye Caulker, Placencia offers additional dive sites to explore, including easy access to Glovers Atoll. 

Like Caye Caulker, Placencia also offers only a limited number of dive shops.  However, there are a handful to choose from if you want to dive in Belize’s southern region. 

While you can fly into Placencia from Belize City, there are no nearby ferry services to take you to Placencia. Instead, you can opt for a few different options:

Flight: A 30-minute flight from Belize City will take you right to Placencia. Airlines run multiple routes daily that cost anywhere from $60 USD to $100+ USD.

Private Transport: Your second option here is to take private transport from the airport directly to your hotel in Placencia (around 3 hours). This can be a bit costly (around $200 -$250 USD), but may be the most economical choice for larger groups. 

Public Bus: Lastly, you can opt to take the public bus down to Placencia. First, you will need to grab a taxi from the airport to the bus terminal in Belize City ($25 USD), and from there hop on the bus towards Placencia. The bus ride will only cost around $10 USD, but the entire trip can take 5+ hours.

Well then, that wraps up your complete guide to scuba diving in Belize. I hope you now have a better idea of what to expect while diving in the Belize Barrier Reef and how to go about planning a trip there. Have fun out there and safe travels!

Can´t wait to go diving in Belize

I have dived out of both Hopkins Village (Hamanasi Diving) and Placencia (Avadon Divers – no longer around). Both were fantastic and the dives were great. The reef is home to so many different kinds of sea life. Definitely worth the trip!

It looks amazing. I really want to discover Belize and the nice dive sites there I didn´t get the chance to get there on my last trip to Mexico but soon I will go! https://omdelfin.com/

Belize Barrier Reef + Blue Hole Lighthouse Reef Dive Package

The Great Blue Hole Belize - Ambergris Divers

Of all the natural wonders in the world, Belize is gifted with ultimate dive destinations which you will get to discover with this 3-Trip Dive Package!

The brilliant underwater beauty of the Caribbean is just a stone’s throw from shore, the beauty lying beneath has made Ambergris Caye Belize’s top dive destination, and a must experience within the Caribbean realm. An easy cruise from the Ambergris Divers pier takes you to multiple dive sites just beyond the reef crest, sites closely held by our local experts.

The Barrier Reef dive trips in this dive package include 2 tank dives, on which you will experience depths of 60-80 feet, starting off a 40 foot gorgonian plain into a vivid terrain of fleshy boulder and pillar coral formations, amongst waving sea fans, sea rods and impressive sponges.

Glide over the spur and groove canyon formations while watching busily scurrying fish and trying to spot the more elusive marine species.  Hanging around typically in these areas are large groupers, nurse sharks, gliding eagle rays and turtles.

With much more than a handful of great dive sites dotted along the Barrier Reef, the two days of 2tank dives will get you four great favorite dive sites!

This package is then highlighted with Belize’s Great Blue Hole and Lighthouse Reef gem!

At the center of Lighthouse Reef Atoll (a coral island encircling lagoons), is an underwater sinkhole formed at least 15 thousand years ago when the land was above sea level.  Then the ocean began to rise, flooding the caves.  Now it’s a 400 ft a 400 ft. deep blue hole in Belize and a cavern of underwater mystery. Encircling its 1,000 ft radius is a vivid living reef, this amazing structure can even be seen from outer space!

The Great Blue Hole Dive is to be enjoyed for its prehistoric nature and the grandeur of its enormous underwater stalactites.  Adding to the trill of the dive are the resident Caribbean Reef Sharks which sashay from the deep blue.

You will also explore the explosion of marine life along the walls of Half Moon Caye and Long Caye, as midnight parrot fish dart among the gentle swaying Gorgonians.

Ambergris Divers packs this trip to give you every perspective of the sites visited, from the deep caverns to the shallower ends rich with vibrant marine life.  Plus a stopover at the island of Half Moon Caye for some island time and a quaint visit to the White faced Red Footed Booby Bird Sanctuary – a special encounter with this rare specie.

Glover's Reef Atoll Diving Tour

Belize is dive heaven.

While Belize can proudly boast having the title of the longest stretch of coral in the western hemisphere, she can also boast being home to the largest living and thriving coral reef in the entire world. Glover’s Reef is the southernmost atoll in Belize and is a protected Marine Reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Scuba dive the perimeter of the reef in search of marine life that may include these species: turtles; manta rays; sharks (reef; hammerheads; whale), spotted stingrays; barracuda; queen, blue, and French angelfish; trunkfish; hogfish; butterfly fish; blue tangs; groupers; sergeant majors, blue-headed wrasses, and too many others to name here.

This atoll is surrounded by deep drop-offs from the reef’s edge, including the Long Caye Wall drop-off, which starts at 25 feet and then descends into an abyss over 3,000 feet deep with visibility at about 100 feet. The Wall is teeming with coral and is a prime feeding site for marine creatures.

Diving with our Glover’s Reef Atoll Dive Tour is every divers dream.

This tour is also offered as a night dive. For those interested in snorkeling, the Glover’s Reef Atoll Tour can also be offered as a Snorkeling Tour.

Blue Hole Diving Tour

Rated by famed marine biologist jacques cousteau as one of the best diving spots on the planet..

A feature attraction of diving in Belize, especially for divers with an appreciation of geographical phenomena, is the opportunity to explore the famed Blue Hole. It is one of the most astounding dive sites to be found anywhere on earth. Located right in the center of Lighthouse Reef, it’s a large, almost perfectly circular hole approximately one-quarter of a mile (.4 km) across. Inside this hole, the water is 425 feet (129 m) deep and it is the depth of water which gives the deep blue color that causes such structures throughout the world to be known as “blue holes.” Except for two narrow channels, the reef surrounds the hole. The hole itself is the opening to a system of caves and passageways that penetrate this undersea mountain. In various places, massive limestone stalactites hang down from what was once the ceiling of air-filled caves before the end of the last Ice Age. When the ice melted, the sea level rose, flooding the caves.

Since the Blue Hole dive requires a minimum depth of 130ft, only certified advanced and experienced divers should attempt this dive. Due to the depth of this dive, bottom time is limited to about 8 minutes, and good buoyancy skills are required to do the mandatory safety stop.

For those interested in snorkeling, the Belize Blue Hole Tour can also be offered as a Snorkeling Tour .

Level: Advanced If you are a certified advanced diver but do not have any dives logged recently, you might be prompted to do a refresher dive where the divemaster will monitor your abilities and how your body reacts while diving in deeper water. He/she will then determine if you are able to participate in this dive.

What to bring: Dive certification card, sunscreen, hat, swim/dive wear, underwater camera, Dramamine, and power/granola bars

You will have the pleasure of experiencing the fantastic reef just off the shore. The reef wraps around creating a sort of lagoon-like condition between the dive sites and the shoreline. After being checked in at the dive center, and receiving your gear and instructions from your PADI-certified and highly trained staff, the boat will take you out just a very short distance to your first dive site. After the boat ties off on the mooring line, your dive master will lead you into the stunning underwater marvel below. There are tunnels to swim through, canyons to glide over not to mention the non-stop parade of marine life! You might spot sea turtles, parrot fish, angelfish, crabs, lobsters, rays, corals and sponges, and maybe a resident shark. No worries, your dive master will be watching over you the entire time. After your first dive and making sure everyone is on board, your dive master will take requests on your next dive site. The dive master's decision will be made according to the group's experience and the water conditions that day. Regardless of where it is, it will be nothing less than fabulous! When you return to the dive center, you will have the choice of returning immediately to the airport to catch the flight back to Belize City or with time permitting, grabbing some lunch in Ambergris Caye and just catch the next flight. The flights go back and forth every hour! The staff will make sure that you are back on the ship in time. If you miss your assigned flight, the airline will notify the dive shop.

Southern Barrier Reef Dive Tour

Dive in the second largest barrier reef in the world.

Located just two miles from Coco Plum Island Resort and stretching over 185 miles along along the entire coast of Belize, the Southern portion of the Belize Barrier Reef is in pristine and vastly untouched condition, which enables divers to truly enjoy the experience rather than worry about crowds of other divers.

Dive sites on this tour include several spots between the idyllic, sandy isles of Tobacco Caye and South Water Caye. The South Water Caye Marine Reserve is the largest area of protected marine reserve in the entire country. All sites lie in the Southern portion of the Belize Barrier Reef

From shallow clear reefs to spectacular drop offs, the Southern Barrier Dive is perfect for scuba divers of every experience level. The ease and accessibility of the Southern Barrier Reef Dive will not disappoint as it is teaming with healthy concentrations of vibrant coral and an abundance of marine life. Common encounters with friendly sea creatures include: spotted eagle rays, nurse sharks, sea turtles, groups of barracuda, king mackerel, grouper, and not to mention schools of tiny, tropical fish that seem to cover every color of the rainbow!

Whether you are a novice or advanced diver, this two-tank Southern Barrier Reef Dive Tour is a true testament to health and wealth of wonders that Belize offers.

Glover’s Reef Dive Tour

Experience the wonder of the pristine belize barrier reef.

There are several islands or cays along the Belize Barrier Reef. They include three of the four coral atolls in the Caribbean, of which Glover's Atoll is one. Glover’s Atoll or Glover’s Reef is partially submerged and known for its unique cut-offs, coral formations, and diversity of marine species.

Although Glover’s Reef is the smallest atoll, only 20 miles long, it boasts a reef that is over 50 miles long around its edge. According to Wikipedia, “The Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve was established as a national protected area in 1993 under the Fisheries Act, and is managed under the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. The reserve encompasses the marine area of the atoll, totaling approximately 86,653 acres. According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), it is considered one of the highest priority areas in the Mesoamerican reef system, providing nursery and feeding areas and a unique habitat for lobster, conch and finfish. In 1996, it was designated by UNESCO as one of seven protected areas that together form the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (a World Heritage-listed site).”

Level: Intermediate Timetable: One week notice. This can be arranged with the Guest Services Manager once you are on the island. Schedule will be confirmed upon arrival. The dive master will monitor your diving abilities and how your body reacts while diving in deeper water. He/she will then determine if you are able to participate in this dive. Departure Time: 8am Return Time: 4pm Included: diving gear, boat transportation, certified guide, packed lunch, snack, taxes & fees

A La Carte Pricing: $270/person for this two-tank dive with a 6 person minimum

Whale Shark Dive Tour

Dive with the largest fish in the world.

During full moons in the months of April, May and June, you can dive in the Gladden Spit & Silk Cay Marine Reserves to view whale sharks. During this time, dog snapper come to this area of the reef to spawn. Whale sharks follow to feed upon the spawn.

The docile, gentle whale shark is the largest of all fish and can weigh up to 15 tons and be up to 45 feet in length. As many as four to five whale sharks can be seen on a dive. This experience should not be missed by divers visiting Belize during the Spring. These dives will require special arrangements and additional costs. In 2000, Gladden Spit & Silk Cay Marine Reserves were declared a protected areas. Each year the Marine park issues the dive schedule so as not to over populate the area with divers. We will coordinate this dive according to that schedule. There is a 6 person minimum on this specialty dive due to distance and all dives are weather permitting.

Level: Advanced Timetable: This can be arranged with the Guest Services Manager once you are on the island. Schedule will be confirmed upon arrival. The dive master will monitor your diving abilities and how your body reacts while diving in deeper water. He/she will then determine if you are able to participate in this dive. Departure Time: TBA (Based on assigned slots) Return Time: TBA (Based on assigned slots)

A La Carte Pricing & Availability: Whale Shark Dives are contracted out by a third party dive operator and can be scheduled at the resort with our Guest Services Manager. Costs and availability for this tour vary depending on availability, weather conditions, and assigned slots. Speak with our Guest Services Manager for more details and to ensure this dive is the right fit for you.

Great Blue Hole Dive Tour

Explore this unesco site, the belize blue hole.

The Belize Blue Hole is a perfectly circular underwater sinkhole located off the coast of Belize in the Lighthouse Reef Atoll, a small atoll 43 miles from the mainland and Belize City. What was previously a limestone cave system, is now one of the most unique natural creations known as the Belize Blue Hole.

As sea levels rose during the last Ice Age, the cave flooded and its roof collapsed into this sinkhole resulting in a marine wonder known for its sparkling blue waters, wealth of coral formations, sharks, and fish, and deep caves filled with stalactites. The Great Blue Hole is a part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a World Heritage Site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

Level: Advanced Timetable: This can be arranged with the Guest Services Manager once you are on the island. Schedule will be confirmed upon arrival. The dive master will monitor your diving abilities and how your body reacts while diving in deeper water. He/she will then determine if you are able to dive the Blue Hole.

A La Carte Pricing: $375/person for this three-tank dive with a 6 person minimum

Something for all dive levels

We specialize in drift diving along the reef wall at our local barrier reef. Deep dives are planned “over the wall”, with both the wall and the deep blue at your sides, and a view of the abyss below you. Shallow dives are conducted at the top, or just inside the outer reef crest, providing amazing diversity and color. A unique feature of Blue Marlin diving is the very generous dive profile; dives start deep and ending shallow, allowing for about 50 minutes of average bottom time per dive. Computer diving is encouraged.

You may also opt to up the level of adventure and add on a specialty dive to Glover’s Reef, Turneffe Atoll, or the Great Blue Hole.

Experience a dive vacation of a lifetime and stay with us on one of our packages for the best in personalized service including accommodations, meals, boat transfers, and daily dives. Choose from Belize Dive Package or Belize Dive & Snorkel Package .

Largest living coral reef system in the world

It is estimated that only 10% of the species have been discovered because of 90% of the reef is yet to be researched.  Oceana Belize, Fragments of Hope , Southern Environmental Association, the Smithsonian Institute, and the Belize Audubon Society are all non-governmental organizations that are involved in studying and protecting the barrier reef ecology.

The coral reef system is comprised of:

70 hard coral species

36 soft coral species

500 species of fish

hundreds of invertebrate species
