Belize is home to the world's second largest barrier reef, a massive Blue Hole and three of the only four true coral atolls found in the hemisphere. Sun Dancer II specializes in the best diving the country has to offer, the walls of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, the outermost reef in Belize. We've had a live-aboard in Belize since February 1992, and each time I dive here I'm impressed by the diversity of the diving. Underwater Belize offers a combination of reefs blanketed with coral and sponge growth and walls beginning as shallow as 20-40 feet.

The marine life that inhabits the barrier reef is extraordinary and diverse…everything from schools of tarpon, turtles and stingrays to a wide variety of tropical species, and of course, the famed Blue Hole. No matter how many times I dive this vertical cavern I never tire of it, the sheer size of it still boggles my mind. Perfectly round and 1,000 feet in diameter, the site has a maximum depth of 412 feet but you don't need to go deeper than 130 to explore the mouth of a cave that is filled with rows of stalactites and stalagmites. Diving the Blue Hole is one of the sport's "do it before you die" experiences, and just one more reason to come visit us in Belize.
