Diving in Central America

Start Small, Go Big

Discover the diversity of the longest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, where technicolor arrays of corals and sponges cover walls and slopes. Tiny treasures await in the intricate nooks and crevices of the underwater landscape, while the big-picture showcases dramatic underwater topographies, including the world's largest marine blue hole. Adventures range from playful encounters with rays and nurse sharks in the shallows to cruises to offshore atolls and swims with whale sharks. For even more variety, the Pacific coasts offer emerald-tinged waters filled with massive schools of fish, flights of rays and a chance to witness rarely-seen gatherings of hammerhead sharks.
