Hey guys, I'm considering heading out to Belize in a couple weeks and trying to get some reccommendations on what to see while I'm there. Anyone have any for me?

Oh... just found one thing I'd LOVE to do... if only I knew how to dive...
The Great Blue Hole!
The Great Blue Hole is a large underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 100 kilometres from the mainland and Belize City. The hole is circular in shape, over 300 metres across and 125 metres deep. It was formed as a limestone cave system during the last glacial period when sea levels were much lower. As the ocean began to rise again, the caves flooded, and the roof collapsed. Believed to be the world’s largest feature of its kind, the Great Blue Hole is part of the larger Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a World Heritage Site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.

This site was made famous by Jacques-Yves Cousteau who declared it one of the top ten scuba diving sites in the world.

Hey EnanitoVerde,

The Blue Hole is a beautiful dive, usually full with sharks! You need to be an advanced diver for this dive however and your last dive should not be more than 6 months ago. I recommend you visit Caye Caulker and arrange the dive from there, or do a snorkel tour from there. They offer many great tours. I really like the shark and ray alley, you snorkel with large, free groups of stingrays!

When visiting Belize, you should not miss out on the caves! The ATM cave is amazing and you can find information here: www.onejungle.com/all-our-tours/one-day-tour-belize/atm-cave-tour
Cave or river tubing is also a lot of fun..

Also, if you are interested in culture, you should mingle and learn about the Garifuna. They have a very interesting history and there are few of them left. You can find them all along the Caribbean coast of Belize south from Dangriga. Hopkins and Punta Gorda are good places to mingle with the Garifuna.

Enjoy Belize, you will LOVE it!
