Snorkkeling in Belize – Caye Caulker – Sharks, rays & more

www.markzware.com – Snorkeling in and around Caye Caulker, Belize. Tour was run by Carlos of Carlos Tours (Ph 226 0458, email: carlosaya@gmail.com). We took the full-day tour, which was absolutely worth it! The day is over before you know it and the hour in San Pedro having lunch is very nice. Belize is in central America, but on the Caribbean sea- and they have the second largest barrier reef, which makes things just awesome! We saw all sorts of fish, sea turtles, sting rays and sharks. Nurse sharks mind you, which they say are very unlikely to attack you- and I can attest, they were very friendly and not bothered by us. (Although seeing one alone, later, did send a shiver up my sun-burnt spine!) The coral is beautiful and the underwater footage does not do it justice! I must also add that I am VERY happy with this 120 Euro adventure cam I bought for this trip. It is waterproof down to about 2 meters, but I figures after diving with it for hours on end that the seal would break and ruin it. But no, it lasted and went on to see Mayan ruins, rivers running through caves and even the border crossing between Guatemala and Belize, which we will not talk about! The mini adventure cam is made by Oregon Scientific (ATC2K Digital Video Camera). Carlos was a great guide, a friendly person and very informative. I think he knew the names of the sean life in five different languages! It was a nice touch to offer a CD with still shots after the tour was over. The Belikin was great

The Great Blue Hole, Belize – Diving 6 July 2010

SCUBA diving in the magnificent Great Blue Hole in the Lighthouse Reef off the coast of Belize in Central America. Our lovely team was diving the the friendly and professional people of Frenchie’s Diving from Caye Caulker. The Great Blue Hole is essentially a collapsed underwater cavern, where you can find the surreal combination of stalactites and sharks. The cavern bottoms out at over 400 ft and is 1000 in diameter, almost perfectly circular. We are diving in a shelf in the cavern wall about 140 ft down. Stay tuned for more videos from our other dives in the Belizean barrier reef. Filmed on a Samsung HMX-H100 in a Pelican 4100 dive light housing.

BELIZE!? Anyone know anything about it?

Hello. I am planning a vacation for me and my mother. We would like to go to Belize, but I would like to know from someone who’s been there what it’s like. We will be going to Belize City first, and then Ambergris Caye. I am more into the adventure stuff (snorkeling, swim with sharks, zipline, etc.) my mom is old and likes to do the exact opposite of me. Any information anyone could give would be much appreciated!! thank you :)
