Belize: Hol Chan Night Dive

Belize: Hol Chan Night Dive

Night dives are neat because you get the opportunity to see wildlife that you typically wouldn’t see during the day – mainly predators. We have done very few night dives and jumped on the chance to do this one with Belize Pro Dive.

This night dive was in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. It costs $10USD to get into the reserve and there is a 24 hour security guard keeping watch. This was a super…

The Making of Belizean Heat: Part 2 - Hol Chan

  The second song on Belizean Heat is named after a marine reserve near San Pedro. The area was set aside in 1987 to protect the delicate barrier reef and mangrove island ecosystems. In my case, I visited Hol Chan marine reserve while staying at Caye Caulker…

Belize - Day 7

More diving. Today we did 3 dives and 1 snorkel. We saw more another lionfish, a couple more nurse sharks, and a Moray eel with attitude. The eel chased our divemaster for a bit. Then it took a lionfish that another divemaster just caught. Those were the first 2 dives. We had lunch before the next dive and snorkel. We ate at a place close to the dive shop called Rendezvous. I had some Pork skewer thing with peanut sauce. (Very good). Kumi had Chicken wings. (Also very good) After an extended break, back to diving. The afternoon dive and snorkel were at Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley. This is a popular place for divers and snorkelers. The depth is about 28'. We saw a lot of wildlife during the dive. But the snorkel is where we saw the sharks and rays. The snorkeling spot is a location where the nurse sharks know they're going to be fed, so they swim up next to the boat. I jumped in the water and took a few pictures. Hopefully they will turn out well. We spent all day diving and snorkeling. By the time we returned to Matachica it was after 5. Long enough for us to shower and take a little rest before dinner. We weren't really that hungry at dinner. So I had an appetizer and kumi had pasta. We shared a rum cake. It was awesome. We were tempted to order another one, but we thought better of it.

Snorkeling Hol Chan / Shark Ray Alley in Belize.

Schoolmaster snappers seek the protection of a sea whip in Hol Chan Marine Reserve. In the 1980s Belizean biologist Janet Gibson campaigned successfully for the establishment of Hol Chan, insisting that the marine protected area contain slices of all three crucial Mesoamerican Reef provinces: mangrove, sea grass, and coral reef.
