Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Half Moon Caye Wall offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Half Moon Caye Wall gives you a classic Belize wall dive, no surprises there. The top of the wall is around 10-12m, then it just drops away into the blue, easy to keep your depth at the 21m mark. You’ll find plenty of gorgonians and barrel sponges clinging to the face, with groups of Creole wrasse and snapper hanging out in the currents. It’s a pretty cruisy drift along the wall, great for intermediate divers who want a relaxed look at the reef structure.
