Ambergris Caye Scuba Diving Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Divers flock to the Blue Hole, a circular "hole" in the sea. The natural spectacle began as a cave system during the Ice Age that flooded as the ice melted and water levels grew.
  • The Belize Barrier Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world, hosts an abundance of amazing marine life. It's just minutes from Ambergris Caye by boat.
  • About two dozen dive operators offer varying dive packages. One single tank dive starts around U.S. $45.
