Belize makes dive travel both a joy and an adventure! Belize is a small Central American country that borders the Caribbean, and lies between Mexico (to the north) and Honduras (to the south). The country's interior is a natural wonderland of meandering rivers, dense jungle rainforests and towering mountain ranges - all of it inhabited by parrots, toucans, monkeys, jaguars and hundreds of other fascinating wildlife species. Belize is also the home of the world's second longest Great Barrier Reef. Beyond the Barrier Reef lies three magnificant offshore coral atolls, the only ones in the Caribbean. Turneffe Island, Lighthouse Reef and Glovers Reef are expansive rings of coral reefs, bordered by vertical drop-offs and attracting a wide array of pelagics: whale sharks, manta rays, eagle rays, bottlenose dolphins and reef sharks.Belize offers many travel advantages over other world class dive destinations:1) It is easy reach, only about two hours by plane from the U.S. gateway cities of Miami and Houston. Daily flights make travel convenient. 2) It is in the same time zone as the U.S. mainland, so there is no jet lag. 3) Everyone speaks English, so American visitors can easily communicate. 4) Best of all, Americans are very welcome.
