This page contains information on dive sites next to our private island, which is 70 miles from Belize City.

Belize Scuba Vacation: If you are serious about scuba diving, you must dive Glover's Reef. There are 56 linear miles of wall diving at this remote atoll. The wall drops from 35 feet to 3000 feet in less than a mile, and visibility is regularly 100 feet or more. Long Caye Dive Center offers a variety of Belize dive packages. Many of our guests, who dive world-wide, have commented that this is some of the best diving they have experienced. Find out for yourself: send us an email: slickrock@slickrock.com and request information on this special underwater National Park. Want to do more than just dive on your vacation? Windsurfing, kayaking, and snorkeling are also available on our private island.

Scuba divers often see moray eels at The Wall.

Long Caye Wall

This is our backyard! A five-minute boat ride takes us through a small cut in the atoll, where we leave shallow turquoise waters for the depths of the Caribbean. This dive was rated by Skin Diver magazine as one of the top ten dive sites in the world! Mooring on a buoy, we descend to a pristine white sand floor. This is our orientation dive for all divers, including first-timers. Passing over colonies of garden eels, we leave the white sands behind to hover over towering coral formations along the edge of the 2600 vertical wall. Schools of brilliantly colored fish drift amongst the coral formations; we often see batfish and giant lobster on this dive.

Pork fish, schoolmasters, and french grunts.

Bev's Garden

This site features Lettuce Leaf and Staghorn corals as far as the eye can see. As we descend past the top of the wall at thirty-five feet, we drift over numerous canyons of coral, which provides hideouts for schoolmaster snappers and hawksbill turtles. It is common to see graceful spotted eagle rays soaring along the gentle currents.

Trunkfish.

The Crack

One of our more advanced dives, this vertical cave is entered at forty-five feet and exited between seventy and ninety feet. Sea life abounds in this dark crevice. Frequent sightings have been made of loggerhead turtles, bull sharks, and some of the largest Nassau groupers in the atoll. This is the perfect site for underwater photographers.

Middle Caye Wall

A ten-minute boat ride takes us to the shadow of neighboring Middle Caye. We descend to the top of the wall, drifting through schools of bluehead wrasse and horse-eyed jacks. Before ascending, a visit with Mordecai, a five-foot long green moray eel who shares his home with nurse sharks and loggerhead turtles.

Spotted file fish.

The Abyss

This sheer wall lives up to its name, providing a dramatic backdrop for abundant blacktip sharks. White sands camouflage southern stingrays and over-hanging coral ledges are home to spiney lobsters. Nearby, juvenile spotted drums flutter beneath a coral head. This is one of our favorite dive sites and not one to miss!
