Dive Overview
Home to the second largest barrier reef in the world, Belize offers good Caribbean diving combined with an excellent tropical rain forest, exotic birds, and historical Mayan ruins. It’s also one of the few places in the world where you can scuba dive (not just snorkel) with whale sharks.
