Belize diving is another of the more popular activities in the Central American paradise of the islands and shores surrounding Belize itself. The shores surrounding Belize itself lend themselves perfectly to this activity, as the waters are clear and clean, and the waters of the Caribbean cover almost every part of seaside Belize. Furthermore, the living reefs and underwater caves provide a great deal of living creatures that enhance and enliven the diving experience.
The kind of diving that most appeals to you will decide exactly which type of Belize diving experience is right for you. Many people choose to snorkel near the surface, to best enjoy the natural tropical sunlight while still seeing nature in her glory. This is perfect for those travelers with more of a pedestrian diving desire, but who still want to see the tropical fish, sea mammals, reefs, and other living creatures indigenous to the waters of Belize.
Belize Diving: S.C.U.B.A.
SCUBA diving (an acronym for "self-contained underwater breathing apparatus") is one of the most popular activities in the region of Belize. The main reason for this is that the clear waters and easy access to many different underwater habitats are rewarding to divers, almost regardless of where on the island you choose to begin your adventure. Ambergris Caye is certainly one of the most popular destination for this diving, but is hardly alone in its popularity.
The Great Blue Hole is another popular diving spot when exploring the waters of Belize. A natural anomaly that from high above seems to be a much darker shade of blue than its surrounding waters, it is part of the lighthouse reef, located about sixty miles from the coast of Belize. Its dark color is due to a much greater bottom depth than that of the reef surrounding it.
