SCUBA at St. George's Caye Resort in Belize is a whole new world of experiences. Here are just a few of the top reasons why Belize offers some of the best diving in the world.
Lionfish Dive Safari - In order to help control the invasive lionfish population around Belize, our dive professionals often take spear guns with them. The excitement of the hunt – stalking the spiny fish, getting in position for the shot, and pulling the trigger – is exhilarating. We offer the opportunity to join in the fun to our guests who are competent divers. There is a surcharge for this specialty dive, but we also give credit for your catch! And with a little luck we can bring back enough for the chef to prepare as appetizers for everyone – it's a delicious white fish!
Key features of Belize diving:
- Barrier Reef: Belize boasts the second longest barrier reef in the world, the longest unbroken one in the Western Hemisphere, offering extensive and diverse dive sites.

Secluded, Pristine Diving on the Belize Reef - St. George's Caye has been a dive destination for decades, offering some of the best SCUBA diving in Belize from its secluded location mere minutes from the barrier reef. With no other dive resorts in the area, the nearby dive sites are pristine, healthy, and almost always free of other divers. The coral reef system, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to more than 500 species of fish, as well as sea turtles, dolphins, spotted eagle rays, and numerous invertebrates.
