Long Caye Aquarium
Wall dive off the west side of Long Caye: a table-top reef begins in about 4-6 m (also a good snorkel) and drops off at about 11 m into a near-vertical wall that continues far below. Schools of Bermuda chub, sergeant majors and Creole wrasse, tiger groupers under the overhangs, cleaning stations with Pederson shrimp and gobies, black coral on the inverted wall sections and tarpon and barracuda in the blue. Usually the third dive of a Blue Hole day trip; most divers stay above 18 m.
