The barrier reef that runs along the Caribbean coast of Belize is second only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Jacques Cousteau first brought Belize into the limelight when he documented his dive on Belize’s famous “Blue Hole”. The offshore islands of Ambergris Caye, Turneffe, Lighthouse Reef Atoll, Half Moon Caye and Glovers Reef have been attracting avid divers ever since. Eco-tours abound throughout the region from jungle tours to the exploration of Mayan ruins making Belize an adventurer’s paradise.
