locations to scuba dive at ray caye
Long Coco Split
At 90′ (27m) lies Miss Panda, a little tug scuttled in 2002 to make a reef and dive site. Silver-sides hide within, while Barracuda and Goliath Grouper hunt them.
The Wreck
At 90′ (27m) lies Miss Panda, a little tug scuttled in 2002 to make a reef and dive site. Silver-sides hide within, while Barracuda and Goliath Grouper hunt them.
North Wall
You will find diving heaven here in one of the best dives in Belize. Highlights include almost every kind of Caribbean reef creature, plus reef Sharks. This dive usually starts at 80′ (24m) and then steps up to 40′ (12m) at the top of the reef crest
White Hole
From the surface it seems like you are looking down into a white hole, which is actually sand at 30′ (9m). There are southern Stingrays, Nurse Sharks, and Green Morays in the sandy area. This local fishing spot has Grouper, Yellow-tail and Dog-tooth Snapper down in the 60′ (18m) range. The bottom slopes to the drop-off at 70′ (21m), which goes into the deep.
Laughing Bird Caye North
At 90′ (27m) lies Miss Panda, a little tug scuttled in 2002 to make a reef and dive site. Silver-sides hide within, while Barracuda and Goliath Grouper hunt them.
Pompion Canyons
The canyons are actually grooves in the towers of coral. The current dictates which direction you dive, whether north to south or south to north, but either way it is interesting to search the canyons and spurs for marine life.
Pompion Wall
Almost 2 miles (3 km) beyond Pompion Caye, which is 23 miles (38 km) out from Placencia. The wall begins at 45′ (14m) and drops straight down to Davy Jones’ Locker. In the 70′ (221m) range there are nooks and crannies concealing Lobster, Moray Eels, Spider Crabs, and feeding Hawks-bill Turtles. The top of the wall is crowded with colorful fish, while large aquatic creatures cruise by in the blue.
Turtle Canyons
This is a great second dive just north of North Wall. The name is taken from the Hawks-bill and Logger-head Turtles that rest here. This is also a fish nursery, making for good photography of Spotted Drums, Arrow Crabs, and cleaner Shrimp. This dive ranges from 50′-60′ (15m-18m) in depth.
