Welcome to Belize

Welcome to Belize, an amazing dive destination. We traveled to this small Central American country to experience the diverse diving experiences offered along the second longest barrier reef in the world.

We chose late May to take advantage of the full moon and, hopefully, see the largest fish in the ocean – the whale shark. Several species of snapper, congregate along an area called Gladden Spit, during the full moon phases of April, May and June. The zillions of zooplankton in the water during this giant orgy attract the huge filter-feeding whale sharks for an easy meal. It is one of the most dependable places in the world to see this magnificent fish. So, we planned our entire trip around the hope of swimming with whale sharks. Unfortunately, somebody forgot to tell the sharks.

But Belize offers much more than whale sharks and we arranged to see much of it by visiting different areas along the reef.
