Long Caye Wall (★4.4)

A beautiful wall dive on Glover’s Reef within the Lighthouse Reef Atoll. The wall does not disappoint with beautiful, healthy coral growth, giant sponges, and tons of marine life to see.

Long Caye Ridge (★4.5)

A beautiful site located in the Lighthouse Reef Atoll accessible only by boat. Beautiful, healthy coral formations with tons of marine life to see.
Aqualung

Long Caye Aquarium (★4.6)

This is a great little wall dive with the reef starting in just 20 feet of water (good for snorkelers) but then drops off into hundreds of feet deep. The visibility is great, and there is much to see!

Great Blue Hole - Belize (★4.6)

The Great Blue Hole sits just off Lighthouse Reef in Belize and is one of the most famous marine sinkholes in the world. It is 407 feet deep, with many stalactites to be seen. This is an advanced dive due to the depth and seemingly bottomless hole. It is easy to get too deep too fast, so watch your gauges!
