Scuba Diving in Belize - Top 13 Destinations

Scuba Diving in Belize - Top 13 Destinations
READ MORE - www.gearbypose...
Belize has long been one of the most unknown American countries for most Europeans, despite having dozens of ancient Mayan settlements and impressive national parks in its jungle, scuba diving spots, and in the sea, the second longest coral barrier reef on the planet.
This small territory has been kept out of the traditional tourist circuits, without overcrowding, with small hotels, few boats sailing its waters and therefore one of the most virgin reefs in the entire Caribbean region. A destination with multiple and tempting possibilities.
The diving in Belize is characterized by steep walls adorned with beautiful coral, huge orange and crimson gorgonians and giant sponges. In them reside all kinds of creatures, from moray eels, lobsters or sharks. This country offers diving sites such as the Painted Wall, Half Moon Caye Wall and Quebrada, Lighthouse Reef, Half Moon Cay or Turneffe Reef that truly stand out.
You can scuba dive Belize in the mythical Blue Hole. Once you have descended the Blue Hole you will see beautiful formations of vertical stalactites.
Experience diving in a system of freshwater caves approximately 985 feet wide and more than 393 deep, which was explored by the marine pioneer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who declared it one of the ten best sites of diving in the world.
1. Angelfish Wall
Located off the south coast of Half Moon Caye. This wall, in one of the most open diving areas, gets its name from the large number of angel fish that are usually seen in the upper part of the reef.
2. Aquarium
One of the most biodiverse places in the area, and possibly the best wall in Belize.
3. Blue Hole
The blue holes are ancient aerial caverns, which were formed millions of years ago and then were left under the waters of the sea.
4. Cathedral
Unlike other points, in this area the attention is concentrated on the platform, where the large coral formations give name to the place.
5. Half Moon Caye
Considered as a snorkeling point, but not to be missed. This island is a real show that has been declared a nature reserve.
6. Half Moon Wall
On the southern side of Half Moon Island. It is a dive in which small tunnels and chimneys predominate.
7. Long Caye
It is a dive point further south of Lighthouse Reef atoll. Despite having a beautiful wall, the upper area and the reef platform is a focus of interest to divers.
8. Painted Wall
The name of this place is due to the large amount of painted ascidias that can be found on the wall, between 39 and 65 feet.
9. West Point
A classic point for wall diving, but sometimes is stirred up by the wind. If the wind is mild, the visibility is usually excellent, exceeding 130 feet.
10. Eagle Ray Canyons
A point where you have to cross your fingers before diving, since luck plays an important role when it comes to seeing the best: spotted eagles.
11. Love Tunnels
The northernmost point of Ambergris Caye has several scuba diving locations, although most of them are a short distance by boat from San Pedro.
12. Shark Alley
It is typical of Caribbean diving, that each destination has its “specialty dive”. In some places are rays, in others the dolphins, in others the gray sharks and in Ambergris Caye are the nurse sharks.
13. Black Beauty
Scuba diving at this location has divers focused on meeting turtles, which are usually located in the sandy channels that circulate between the coral blocks.

I dove off of Ambergris Key in 1979. It was basically untouched. We were the only guys diving off of San Pedro. It still is the most amazing place of have dived. Absolutely beautiful.

[@IdaholifeV]

We are diving there in march😁

[@kurtj98]

We dove off of Ambergris Caye 12/21. We did 7 dives total and each just built on the other. Such a great place to dive.

I can’t find your free dive travel checklist : is it still available ?

[@Juscz]

What's with the Indo-pacific fish and coral species seen at 1:05 and 7:02? And what's with the freshwater angelfish at 2:20? And what's with the Goliath grouper at 2:58 when the narrator/text mentions black grouper? May I suggest that the maker of this video endeavor to include species in the video that actually occur in Belize/Caribbean waters rather than including many which only occur either clear on the other side of the planet or in freshwater? Just sayin.
