Belize is fortunate to have hundreds of beautiful natural wonders including world-class dive sites, stunning ocean waters, and white sandy beaches. However, nothing is arguably more impressive and beautiful than Belize’s barrier reef: the largest living coral reef in the world. Come experience the beauty of Belize’s wildlife and ocean life by scuba diving the Belizean coral reef.
Coral Reefs of Belize
The Belize Barrier Reef consists of coral that stretches over 300 kilometres located on the coast of the north shore of Belize. The Belize Barrier Reef is accessible for divers from several different spots and is celebrated as the world’s largest living reef, second only in size to the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. Beginners and seasoned divers come from all over the world to go scuba diving in Belize’s coral reef.

The Caribbean Ocean and its tropical climate are the perfect environment for stunning, colourful, and tropical plants to flourish, including several different species and colours of algae, sea grass that grows several feet long and beautiful, long-rooted mangroves.
