Fascinating Belize Barrier Reef Facts
The Barrier Reef in Belize is not only a feast for the eyes but also a critical ecosystem teeming with life. It’s home to over 500 species of fish, 100 species of coral, and countless marine creatures, including endangered species like the West Indian manatee and hawksbill sea turtle. Divers and snorkelers often marvel at the kaleidoscope of colors and activity, where playful parrotfish, graceful stingrays, and majestic groupers swim in harmony. Whether you're a novice snorkeler or an experienced diver, this reef promises an awe-inspiring experience.
Dive Into the Great Blue Hole in Belize
One of the reef’s crown jewels is the iconic Great Blue Hole, a massive underwater sinkhole and a bucket-list destination for divers around the globe. Measuring over 1,000 feet across and 400 feet deep, the Blue Hole offers a thrilling dive into the mysteries of the ocean. Explore its ancient stalactites and the possibility of encountering reef sharks, hammerheads, and other marine life that call this underwater abyss home. At Ashton Court Belize, we can connect you with certified diving and snorkeling guided tours that ensure a safe and exhilarating dive into this natural marvel.

swimming alongside nurse sharks, rays, and the dazzling schools of fish that flourish in this pristine marine haven.
