Belize: Diving and snorkeling

Belize in Central America is one of the best destinations for travelers who are interesting to snorkel and dive. An abundance of natural marine sites with clear water and exotic reefs awaits you in places including Caye Caulker, a town of less than 1,000 people. It is a great spot for travelers on a tight budget, and has the look of old fishing town with weather beaten shacks. Snorkeling and underwater tours are the main thing to do in Caye Caulkner, and even though Belize coastal areas can become very hot in the summer months, coastal breezes here help to keep the weather relatively comfortable all year ’round.

There is not much to do in this sleepy little town except to snorkel, but if diving is your idea of good entertainment, you will find plenty of coves and reefs to keep you occupied for days on end. At night you can wander into the simple restaurants, bars, and cafes for some mild entertainment, but the simplicity of this laid back town is really the main attraction, and if you are in need of a modern nightlife, you might get bored very quickly. You can hire boats and gear on the cheap, and for the best snorkeling, you can hire a guide boat to take you to dive locations like Blue Hole and Shark Ray Village, for around $100 per trip.
