Nearly every site is a wall dive or at least adjacent a wall. Computer diving is encouraged. The divemaster leads the dive but there is freedom of movement within the buddy teams. The diving is quite spectacular, with walls, marine life and visibility being the highlights of nearly every dive. A fish, invertebrate or coral list would fill a notebook.
Snorkeling is as spectacular for the diver and non-diver alike.
The lagoon and forereef habitats have healthy coral reefs. Even those that do not swim well will find plenty of shallow, protected reefs. Wearing of a life preserver is encouraged for those that can't swim or are uncomfortable in the water. The Southern Cayes of Belize rates as one of the top dive destinations in this hemisphere. Southwater Caye, in particular, offers access to some of the most spectacular wall dives and ocean drop-offs anywhere in the world.
