Diving
Belize is home to the second largest barrier reef in the world, alive with colourful corals and sponges and a tremendous variety of fish and invertebrates. Exceptional visibility is found along the vertical walls. Belize is home to the famous Blue Hole, a collapsed freshwater cave system. This dive site is unique and unlike anything else in the Caribbean.
The average water temperature is 27 degrees Celsius, rising to 28 - 29 degrees in July to September and dropping to 24 degrees in December and January.
The dry season runs from August to May and typically offers the best diving. According to NOAA the Atlantic Hurricane Season is officially June to November but this time period also offers some of the best diving conditions, with calm seas and warm waters.
