Half Moon Caye Wall
Widely rated among the best dives in Belize. A sand flat with garden eels in about 15m gives way to a wall that drops into deep water, cut with grooves and sand chutes. Marine life is far richer than the Blue Hole: eagle rays, grouper, snapper, barracuda, turtles and Caribbean reef sharks are commonly seen. Above water, Half Moon Caye is a protected monument with a red-footed booby colony.
