Half Moon Wall

5.0(1 review)Belize, Lighthouse Reef

Diving here is nice with good corals. This is a good place after diving the Blue Hole (25 min north). For non-divers, the main attraction of the caye is the red-footed Boobies; a protected specie of the endangered list. Nesting of the Boobies begins in mid-December and continues until late in March. Up to 120 other species of bird are found at Half Moon Caye. South side of Half Moon Caye. Southeast side of Lighthouse Reef.

Elbow

4.0(1 review)Belize, Turneffe Islands

Dive site is southern tip of the Atoll. Closer the Island the area is a fairly easy dive but move away from the shore and the bottom drops away quickly and you can encounter strong currents being whipped around the tip If there is a current then the dive quickly needs more mature outlook to it Can be some big stuff waiting around in the current
