Dive resorts in Belize offer the enticing mix of good Caribbean scuba diving combined with an excellent tropical rain forest, exotic birds, and historical Mayan ruins. Belize diving is pre-dominantly land-based but you can also find liveaboards in Belize.
Belize is easy to get to from the United States, and there is a good mix of budget, mid-range, and luxury resorts. Most resorts offer jungle tours and bird or nature walks, as well as exhilarating adventure activities like cave tubing or waterfall rappelling. Belize is a destination that caters to both thrill seekers and travelers looking to relax on island time at the beach. It is the perfect destination to combine stellar diving with amazing topside experiences!

HALF MOON CAYE
This small tropical island, home to many bird species is a popular destination for a nice lunch on the beach. Those not interested in watching birds can explore the white sandy beaches and warm shallow waters. There’s even an opportunity for some great snorkeling right near the dock where the boats park.
Turneffe Atoll
Considered one of the better (if not the best) dive areas in Belize, the atoll is a large offshore reef filled with white-spotted toadfish, eagle rays, groupers, nurse sharks, jacks, snappers and so much more.
Placencia
If you want to get away from the crowds, Placencia in southern Belize is the best place for you. There are great topside wildlife areas that are also close to many great Mayan ruins. At Gladden Spit, another marine reserve, there is a chance of seeing a big whale shark.
