Great Blue Hole
The Blue Hole is a sunken underwater cave of approximately one thousand feet wide and three hundred feet deep, located in the center of Lighthouse Reef. From out of the air you have spectacular views of this geological phenomenon. Theories of a meteorite that struck Lighthouse Reef millions of years ago and leaving this huge crater behind are not true. It was formed in one of our ice ages when the land was lowered enough to expose lighthouse reef. Sweet water created holes and cracks in the lime...
Shark-Ray Alley
Shark Ray Alley is one of the new dive sites of Ambergris Caye, recently connected as zone 4 to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve. It is an area that was used by fishermen to clean their catch of the day. All the leftovers and inner body parts landed in the water which attracted many southern stingrays and nurse sharks. Today, black shapes will appear in the water as soon as you arrive by boat. The area is used for snorkelers and divers being entertained by dive masters while they are feeding the rays...
Hol Chan Cut
A shallow dive, the Hol Chan Cut is abound with life. Expect to see large Tarpon and maybe even a couple of fiesty Green Sea Turtles lingering in the sandy area of the cut.

You can bet on seeing a large school of fish hanging about on the right wall. ...

Shark Point
Located at the eastern end of the windward northern reefs, Shark Point is one of the more remote dive sites on Glover's.

Even if divers are willing to make the hour-long trip to get there, prolonged periods of excessive boat roll can make for an unsettl...

It gets its name from a protruding ridge of reefs that form a small promontory just north of Tres Cocos.

The grooves run perpendicular to the wall and feed directly into the open sea.The sponges, coral and fish here are similar to those seen on Hat Caye Drop-off. Ne...
