Scuba Dive Ambergris Caye
El Pescador offers divers an un-Belize-able adventure exploring virgin reefs and cayes.

Diving the Belize Barrier Reef
Come experience the underwater wonders of Belize where the second largest living barrier reef in the world is host to a variety of species including sharks, rays, eels, groupers, parrot fish, trigger fish, sea horses, turtles, shrimp, sea fans, coral and others.
|
Marine Life
The abundance of other marine life along the barrier reef is remarkable. You may encounter a school of porpoises or amber jacks. Spotted eagle-rays are often seen in groups of three or four while the rare manta ray usually travels alone. Turtles are common and you may spot a lone barracuda swimming in the open waters away from the corals.

Canyons, Caves and Tunnels
When diving along the main barrier reef at Ambergris Caye, you will experience vast canyons formed by large, living corals rising from a sandy bottom. These canyons are found just outside the reef at depths of 50-100ft, quite close to the Caye at no more than ¾ of a mile. The canyons are filled with caves and tunnels. Schools of snappers, grouper and nurse sharks are quite common. The occasional hammerhead or black tip shark gives divers a thrill.
