Location description: Caye Caulker is an island of Belize, Central America. The eastern shore of the Caye runs parallel to the largest unbroken barrier reef in the world.
We dive all the popular dive sites, including the famous Blue Hole, Half Moon Caye and Long Caye. All sites have great visibility.
Blue Hole:
•One of the World`s most famous dive sites.
•The water is sheilded, and hence is always calm.
•An easy dive to 40 meters (130 ft), although the bottom lies at 500ft.
•During the Ice Age, the site was a dry cave whose roof had collapsed leaving a hole 1000ft in diameter. When the oceans rose several hundred feet providing the site we see today.
•See stalactites & stalagmites 8ft in diameter and over 20ft in length that formed when the cave was dry.
•Expect to see black tip sharks, bull sharks, silky sharks, wall-eyed jacks, yellow tail snapper, gray snapper, and big barracuda.
•This is a safe dive! We send an instructor, divemaster and a safety diver on all Blue Hole dives. At the dive site, we hang a safety tank with three second stages at 15ft.
Elbow:
•Not your typical dive!
•The water is wild, as the ocean washes past the island.
•We take a break and eat on the island.
•Dive to 70 ft on the wall, seeing any ocean fish (marlin, manta ray).
•At given times of year, there are uncountable numbers of fish in this breeding location.
The nearby sites feature plenty of of marine life and spectacular coral formations. Dramatic deeps canyons surround the reef. Many of our local trips include snorkeling at Shark Ray Alley & Hol Chan Marine Park between tanks. Belize`s reef is the longest continual barrier reef in the world.
