Best of the South
Glover’s Atoll and Belize Barrier Reef
With its warm waters and rich marine life, the best of the south is a diver’s paradise waiting to be explored! With fewer divers and snorkelers, the southern half of the Belize Barrier Reef and Glover’s Atoll have some of the most pristine dive sites in Belize. Far fewer divers get to Glover’s Reef – the most remote of the Belize atolls. Best of the South – Glover’s Atoll and Belize Barrier Reef dive destinations are truly far from the maddening crowd!
Glover’s is approximately 30 nautical miles from Placencia, a journey that takes a little more than an hour and a half. The ride is certainly worth every minute as some of the best scuba diving in the Western Caribbean can be found here. Conditions at Glover’s Reef make for some of the best fun dive trips we offer. Glover’s Atoll is an oval-shaped reef system 15 miles long by 4 miles wide. Five islands lie on the eastern side where most of the diving is done. These islands are mostly private with small diving and fishing resorts. The pristine waters with unique coral formations and tons of marine life make Glover’s Reef a popular spot for divers wanting to see the best Belize has to offer. Glover’s is one of UNESCO’s world heritage sites and a marine reserve with designated no-take and conservation zones.
The Belize barrier reef is the longest barrier reef in the western hemisphere (185 miles long) and offers many dive sites to explore. South Water Caye Marine Reserve was established in 1996 to protect the outer reef. The Cayes on the outer reef are abundant with aquatic life, and pristine corals and represent some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the Caribbean. Nearby Grand Channel within the same marine reserve features a cut in the Belize Barrier Reef system.
