Belize  Gallery

Belize offers an underwater diving majesty, big islands, hundreds of smaller offshore isles, three huge and distinctive coral atolls, and the second largest barrier reef that seems endless. Where the hurricanes have had little effect, the  underwater world is filled with shallow gardens of corals, steep drop-offs speckled with colourful fish vibrant sponges and other marine life. With the world famous Blue Hole it's no wonder that Belize is one of the world's most suited diving vacation resorts.

A dive at Gladden Spit is absolutely stunning, where for up to 10 days after the full moon, March through June, awesome but gentle whale sharks (the  world's largest fish, up to 60 feet long) gather to feast on the eggs of cubera snapper and other fish that spawn in huge quantities at these times. What a feeling! A huge 15 m Whale Shark  swimming directly towards you. This massive fish was only 1 m away from me. I looked into his left eye. I couldn't breath anymore. I couldn't move anymore. I had no fear. I was fascinated by the slow, gentle motion of this giant.

Apart from the excellent diving and snorkelling there are many other great things to do, like  exploring the tropical rain forest, have a swim under a waterfall, discover caves, climb Maya temples or spot a Jaguar, Toucan or other rare animals. 

Be careful, if you snorkel around places where fisherman clean their fish. It's possible that suddenly you are surrounded by many nurse sharks, bull sharks, stingrays and eagle rays al at the same time.
