Boca Ciega

Boca Ciega sits just a short boat ride from San Pedro, a quick jaunt. The moorings start you in about 45 feet of water, right amongst a thick stand of purple sea fans and other branching gorgonians. From there, the reef plunges down beyond 100 feet, cut by broad sand chutes. We’ve often been shadowed by a couple of chunky black groupers here, they’re quite the characters, and it’s a good spot to find nurse sharks tucked away. Keep an eye out for Caribbean reef sharks cruising the deeper parts. Look under the overhangs for lobsters and morays, and closer to the top of the spurs, you’ll see plenty of parrotfish, angelfish, and schools of blue chromis. This is a solid, easy dive for most skill levels, offering that classic Belizean reef vibe without having to venture too far.
