Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Long Cay Wall offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Dropping over the edge of the Long Cay Wall is a classic Lighthouse Reef experience. We generally find a good drift along the coral-encrusted face, keeping an eye out into the blue for passing reef sharks and eagle rays. It’s a comfortable wall dive, great for intermediate divers looking for that quintessential Belize deep blue feel.
