Scuba Diving BelizeScuba diving Belize is on or near the top of most divers "must do" list. Between the great diving, laid back atmosphere and topside attractions, it's easy to see why. We've gone scuba diving in Ambergris Caye, diving in Caye Caulker, and diving in Placencia. All three are worth a dive trip IMHO.  Wherever you go scuba diving Belize I think you will enjoy it. Each of the destinations we've been to has its' own unique appeal. Which one you go to depends on what you are looking for. So read about each spot and decide which one will fit the bill for your next scuba dive vacation. You can also check out our Belize maps to help plan your vacation. We even have a couple of interactive maps for you to use. Check them out, they're alot of fun. Scuba Dive Belize: Ambergris CayeThis is the most popular of the Belize diving destinations. And understandably so. The second largest barrier reef is right offshore so you have a 2 minute boat ride to some of the best dive sites anywhere. The town is bustling and there are a range of accommodations to fit any budget (see our page on Ambergris Caye hotels to make sure you are getting the best deal). Read more about Ambergris and diving in Ambergris Caye to see if this is the spot for you to go and dive Belize. You can also check out our Ambergris Caye maps to get a feel for the island and our Scuba Dive Belize: Caye CaulkerCaye Caulker is right next door to Ambergris but has a different feel. Caye Caulker is much quieter and more laid-back than Ambergris (and that is saying something).  You dive many of the same sites as those staying on Ambergris since the 2 islands are so close (these are the dive sites in Caye Caulker we visited.) So it's really a choice of which topside appeals to you the most. Find out if scuba diving Belize and diving in Caye Caulker appeals to you. We also have Caye Caulker maps and information on Caye Caulker hotels for you to help plan your trip. Scuba Dive Belize: PlacenciaPlacencia is a different ballgame than Ambergris and Caye Caulker. It's located in southern Belize and is at the end of a peninsula. Take a look at our Placencia maps to see where it is located. The reef is further offshore in this part of Belize so you have longer boatrides. However, the town is charming (IMHO) and has alot to offer. So read about scuba diving Belize - Placencia and diving in Placencia to see if this is for you. If you need a place to stay you can also check out our page on Placencia hotels to make sure you are getting the best deal. But before you go and dive Belize, don't forget to get some scuba diving insurance (I explain the nitty gritty here). Wherever you go, I hope you have a great dive trip! Here are some books you might want to take a look at to help plan your Belize vacation. The Belize Survivor book is a little different but looks fascinating and gets rave reviews. I'll be ordering it:
