Belize, Latin America

Located in central America, the coastline faces the Caribbean just facing Cuba. With it’s own barrier reef, over 185 miles in length second only to the Great Barrier reef in Australia and one of the only true atolls in the Western Hemisphere, Belize offers much. This is a small, welcoming country known for it’s rainforest, mayan culture and non-commercial way of life. Tiny cayes and atolls rise up from the depths, creating sheer walls that are home to tarpon, massive grouper, turtles and schooling jacks. The mystical Blue Hole – a vast submerged cave system which reaches to a depth of 145m. Also the Turneffe and Gover coral reef rings are some of the best dive sites in the world. The Elbow drop off at the southern end of Turneffe island provides amazing viewing of jacks or barracuda to ray, sharks, dophin and even orca whales. Belize offers some of the best diving in the Caribbean with all manner of coral reefs, sea life and protected, world heritage sites to escape to. A great year round destination.
