Pompion Wall A Diving Adventure | Placencia Scuba Diving

Pompion Wall Dive Site is a secluded diving area that gets its name from a privately own island named Pompion Caye, located just 50 minutes from Placencia, Belize. I often hear that the best dive sites are those “unknowns” and after diving at the Pompion Wall I have to agree.

This dive leaves Splash Dive Center in Placencia at 9:00 am and is a two tank multilevel dive. Although Pompion Wall is not within the protected Barrier Reef Reserve System it is one of the most pristine reefs in the area and one of the best Placencia scuba diving sites.

The Perfect Caribbean escape | Belize Snorkeling At Laughing Bird Caye National Park

The boat ride out to Laughing Bird Caye was not only short-lived but also it was fun as we sped past a number of the inner cayes. We departed from Placencia village and took a boat ride out to the island for our Belize snorkeling trip. I knew I was not only visiting an island but a protected one. I have visited other cayes in Belize such as the popular San Pedro, Ambergris Caye and the laid-back Caye Caulker but I had never visited an island that is also a National Park and a World Heritage Site, protected for its […]

How to Spot A Belize Whale Shark (Part I)

Spring is near and while many are looking forward to the blooming of flowers; in the Caribbean, we whale shark fans are looking forward to the arrival of the gentle giants of the sea.
When we hear about sharks our first thoughts may be “danger-man’s predator”, but there is no need to fear. The Belize whale shark is not a voracious creature, on the contrary they are passive, easy-going, sea-dwellers.

Whalesharks are one of the most magnificent and mysterious creatures of the sea. It is not unusual to spot a 40-foot whale shark.  These humongous creatures are known to grow up […]

Diverse & Beautiful Belize Coral Reefs

Healthy Belize Coral Reefs

Belize’s coral reefs are the most diverse and beautiful of all marine habitats which include both hard and soft corals among other marine life.  The sub-tropical climate here provide ideal conditions for the formation of corals which thrive in shallow, clean water, plenty sunlight and temperate waters between 16 and 30 degrees Celsius and an abundance of food sources such as plankton and baby shrimps.

 

Undeniably, the geographic formation of Belize’s landscape, along with the moderate climate, has favored some of the most astounding natural coral reef systems that took several millenniums to form. Over […]
