Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Belize Diving: The Highlight of the Caribbean offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Diving around Ambergris Caye often feels like a well-choreographed drift, the currents guiding you along healthy reef walls. We've had some memorable encounters here, particularly with green sea turtles gliding past and the sheer density of schooling fish that can sometimes dim the sun. Beyond the larger pelagics, the macro life here is surprisingly good, so keep an eye out in the crags and crevices. It's a forgiving place to dive, whether you're just starting out or have plenty of logbook stamps, and the non-diving activities on the Caye mean you're never bored when the tanks are empty.
