South Water Caye is a 1-2 boat ride from Belize City. The island of South Water Caye is very lovely, and only a few acres in size. It is located on the great barrier reef. The snorkeling and scuba diving are spectacular. There are sandy beaches off which people can learn to snorkel in shallow water.
Accommodations are rustic but adequate.
Subjects of study include coral reef and mangrove estuary biology. Catching a moment of rest and relaxation, Steve Daily finds comfort in a nearby hammock on the island of South Water Caye.
