An Adventurer’s Paradise. Belize is a peaceful English-speaking country with 40% of its area dedicated to parks and natural reserves. Belize is a close, relatively easy-to-get-to destination nestled between Mexico and Guatamala on the Carribean coast. The islands off of the coast of Belize are where one finds the best diving:

Ambergis Cay: The most developed island—a short flight from Belize City or about a two hour boat ride on a fast water taxi. It is the only island with some choice for night life and good diving. Most of the diving is done by boat on the reef on the ocean side of the island.

Cay Cocker: Next to Ambergis Cay, it is a quiet, sleepy island with a number of small resorts and restaurants. The diving is similar to Ambergis Cay and accomodations are less expensive.

The best diving in the Belize area is the outer Light House Reef, Half Moon Cay, etc. It’s great diving! Boats can be chartered from both Cay Cocker or Ambergis Cay and it is well worth it. Inside Light House Reef is the Blue Hole—and it’s just that, a blue hole and not much else. Few fish—if you are lucky a shark or two. The main destination for most divers here is a small cave that goes 10–20 ft into the wall at a depth of 160+ ft. The Blue Hole may be worth skipping unless you want to say you have been there. The other diving around the reef is fantastic.

Other worthwhile activities are the Belize Zoo, river rafting and the Mayan ruins.
