contains information on dive sites next to our private island, which is 70
miles from Belize City. Diving at our island is not available without

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
