Planning a vacation for scuba diving can be a challenge. Factoring in all of the relevant variables such as the weather, locations to dive, knowledgeable guides, and more can make choosing a destination a bit of a headache. Staying in an Ambergris Caye rental at Exotic Caye Beach Resort can make all of that a lot simpler.
The most difficult part about planning a trip to scuba dive in Belize is figuring out where to dive. Belize has so many great dive locations and pro dive operations, that sometimes the wide range of choices is almost too much. One of the most popular locations for diving on Ambergris Caye is Hol Chan Marine Reserve, conveniently located 4 miles southeast of San Pedro. Not only are there plenty of hotel accommodations, there are also very nice Ambergris Caye rentals available.
Why dive on Ambergris Caye?
Diving on Ambergris Caye is a wonderful experience, and you never know what you will find. There are lots of different dive trips you can take in the area. For example, at Belize's most popular National Park, Hol Chan Marine Reserve, divers will enjoy swimming with schools of nurse sharks and southern sting rays and checking out the large schools of fish and lush coral growth.
The famed Barrier Reef, the second largest in the world behind the more well-known barrier reef in Australia, is located just north of Ambergris Caye and essentially meets land at Rocky Point. Just south of that point divers will find one of the largest sea turtle nesting beaches in all of Belize.
No matter if you want to dive in the day or night, local operators will be able to accommodate you and the other guests on your scuba diving trip.
