SEA IT TO BELIZE IT!
If you're looking for total sea adventure, then you've come
to the right place. Belize is it when it comes to water
adventure sports. With the largest barrier reef in the
Northern Hemisphere, offshore atolls, mangrove forests,
coastal lagoons, and hundreds of sand cayes, there are a
host of exciting activities waiting for you once you get
there.
For those who have no experience diving, there's snorkeling.
Except for very young children, there is no age limit. All
you need is a snorkel, a mask, and flippers (which you
either purchase at home or rent right here in Belize), and
you're all set. You can jump in the water right away with an
instructor and witness the most astounding underwater plant
and animal life in the Caribbean. For the advanced, diving
is the way to go. Frolic with a school of dolphins, be awed
by the hundreds of species of coral, and even explore a
sunken shipwreck. The best snorkeling and diving sites
include Ambergris Caye, Turneffe Islands, Lighthouse
Reef,
and Glover's Reef.
Now if you would rather cast into the saltwater than be in
it, then you better go fish. Literally. All kinds of
fishing--spin, fly, trolling--can be experienced year-round.
Blue crystal-clear waters teem with game fish such as
bonefish, permit, and tarpon, which have grown accustomed to
a rich diet of shrimp and crabs. Within a few minutes of
leaving the dock, you will find yourself casting away in
either the cool, shallow waters of the tidal flats or
navigating the atolls hundreds of feet deep in a boat.
Oh, and did we mention you could go kayaking, sailing,
windsurfing, jetskiing? Resorts offer both half-day trips
and whole day excursions. And for those who want to relax
and just soak up the rays, there's always relaxing on the
deck of a glass-bottom boat or a raft.
