Welcome to Belize, Central America
Price Band: ££££
Belize is a stunning central American country which nestles between Mexico to the North, Guatemala to the West and Honduras to the South. A thin strip of a country of lush rainforest and rugged, pine-covered mountains. Rich in cultural heritage, Belize is a million miles from your a typical Caribbean destination.
| Beyond the worlds second largest barrier reef lie 3 of only 4 true coral atolls in the Caribbean; Turneffe Island Reef, Glovers Reef and Lighthouse Reef. These oval reefs rise to the surface, exposed at low tide, with a central lagoon perhaps 50ft deep. The sandy lagoon floor, interspersed with coral heads, reflects the light upwards, giving the water a wonderful turquoise luminescence. Protected by the outer reefs, the lagoons offer calm protected waters. The outer walls of these atolls drop into the deep abyss of the Western Caribbean, sometimes vertically and sometimes in a stepped pattern, with sand gullies and tongue-and-groove formations providing ideal habitats for fish, corals and the occasional resting spot for a sleepy nurse shark! The finest diving in Belize is on these outer atolls, where optimum conditions for prolific coral growth can be found. The clear waters are teeming with wrasse, snapper, barracuda, French angelfish and the occasional eagle ray, dolphin or manta rays swoops past the coral and sponge covered reefs. |
| Every Saturday, the luxurious Belize Aggressor III casts off from Belize City for a week of hassle-free wall diving at Turneffe and Lighthouse Reefs. Sheer walls like Painted Wall, Half Moon Caye Wall and Quebrada are adorned with huge crimson gorgonians and wandering, lilac rope sponges. Weather permitting, divers explore the mystical Blue Hole, a collapsed freshwater cave system. With all dives from the mother ship, diving is unlimited. A trip to this Central American paradise isn’t complete without a visit to Belize’s Mayan ruins or a cave tubing ride through the jungle. Tours are offered on Friday afternoon, but an extended stay is recommended to fully enjoy the wonders of Belize. Boat - Details and SpecificationItinerary and Dive SitesWATCH THE VIDEO |
