Take a Deep Dive In Belize

It’s no secret that Belize tops the avid diver’s bucket list. Exploring the warm turquoise seas along the Belize Barrier Reef, diving the pristine waters of three remote atolls, and daring to descend 100 feet into the Blue Hole-first discovered by Jacques Cousteau- are just a few of the possibilities. The lucky ones will also scuba dive with whale sharks in season.

Belize Tourism, A Melting Pot

The Belize tourism sights and diversity are incomparable to any other country I ever visited. While planning my vacation to Belize I was captivated by the diversity of cultures all in one tiny country.
