Belize

Straddling the Caribbean and Central America, Belize is home to the world’s second‑largest barrier reef and a string of offshore atolls. Warm, clear water and a relaxed tropical vibe make it a favourite with divers of all levels. The flagship attraction is the Great Blue Hole, a 300‑m‑wide limestone sinkhole plunging to 124 m, but Belize’s real magic lies in its walls and coral gardens. Turneffe Atoll and Lighthouse Reef teem with reef sharks, turtles, eagle rays and massive barrel sponges. Gladden Spit hosts whale sharks from April to June, while Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley offer easy snorkelling with nurse sharks and stingrays. Whether you’re a beginner completing your first course or an experienced diver chasing pelagics, Belize delivers with friendly people and laid‑back island life.
