Explore the Belize District

Belize district is located in the Central American country of Belize and in the east are its coastlines on the Caribbean Sea. Off the coast are hundreds of islands called cayes which all harbour white sandy beaches surrounded by crystal clear turquoise waters. Underwater, there is a high abundance in biodiversity with multiple underwater environments including mangrove forests, coral reefs and seagrass beds. For divers wanting to visit Belize and its spectacular dive sites, there are many options. If liveaboards are the way that divers want to explore this area, there are multiple options which all depart from Belize City, which is the largest city on mainland Belize and the main port city for the country. Should divers be more interested in day trips from dive centres or dive resorts, then these are located either in Belize City, in San Pedro on the island of Ambergris Caye or on the island of Caye Caulker. Some of the dive areas include the Belize Great Barrier Reef; a 300 kilometre long coral reef with an impressive amount of marine life, the Great Blue Hole; a geographical phenomenon in the shape of a 124 metre deep sinkhole in the middle of the ocean and the Hol Chan Marine Reserve; a marine reserve made up of four marine environments and harbouring an incredibly high biodiversity. All levels of divers will have something to revel over in this area, all while enjoying the pleasant diving conditions within the Caribbean Sea, with water temperatures being between 24 and 29 degrees Celsius and a warm climate year round.
