St. George's Caye
Sloping wall dives. Shallow reef. Beautiful soft corals. Easy dives.
The sloping walls are a good location for easy dives. Our initial descent is to approximately 50ft/15m, and then we gradually descend to a maximum depth of 70ft/21m. We explore along the wall while we watch the open waters for marine life. Halfway through the dive, we ascend to the top of the wall and spread out across a large expanse of shallow coral.
