Central America

Central America Scuba Diving & Travel

Diving in Central America—especially in Belize, Honduras, and Costa Rica—offers some of the most rewarding underwater experiences in the Western Hemisphere. Belize is home to the world-famous Belize Barrier Reef and the iconic Great Blue Hole, featuring pristine coral formations, deep walls, and abundant marine life. Honduras, particularly the Bay Islands of Roatán and Utila, is known for healthy reefs, dramatic drop-offs, and encounters with whale sharks during seasonal migrations. Costa Rica delivers a different style of diving, with nutrient-rich waters that attract large pelagic species such as manta rays, bull sharks, and schools of hammerheads, especially around the Bat Islands and Cocos Island. Warm waters, diverse ecosystems, and excellent visibility make Central America suitable for divers of all levels, offering everything from relaxed reef dives to thrilling big-animal encounters.
