FISHING BELIZE
The fishing diversity that the waters of Belize offers is extraordinary. Within minutes of the resort are three very different forms of sport fishing: deep sea fishing for Marlin, Tuna, and Wahoo, reef fishing for Snapper, Grouper, and Jack, and fly fishing for Bonefish, Permit, and Tarpon. The staff at Exotic Caye Beach Resort know and understand the needs of anglers and will place you with experienced guides, most of whom grew up here, fishing the waters off Ambergris Caye. Whether you are cruising the deep blue in a 52' tuna boat, fishing the flats in a two man skiff, or working the inside of the reef with some friends, you will be landing a champion's catch.
All three types of sport-fishing are easily accessible and the season is
open year round. However, different times of the year do offer greater opportunities to specifically catch larger and greater numbers of fish.

DIVING BELIZE
It's no wonder among divers that Belize is called the
Adventure Coast. Nestled away on the Caribbean coast of Central America, Belize
boasts the second largest barrier reef in the world, three magnificent atolls,
70 types of hard corals, nearly 400 species of fish, an endless array of dive
sites and one awesome blue hole!
The underwater world of Belize is vibrant and diverse. Home to some of
earth's most unique geological formations, it is a profusion of colors and
exotic marine life. When it comes to world-class dive destinations, Belize is at
the top of everybody's list - and with good reason. In addition to being an
exceptional recreational dive destination, Exotic Caye also offers the most
advanced diving and courses for those divers looking to grow in the sport.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve
This site is a national park just a ten-minute boat ride south of the resort.
The maximum depth is 30 feet and there is a channel here to open water so
currents can be a consideration. Because of its protected status, you are likely
to see almost all species of fish native to these waters.
Shark Ray Alley
Located near Hol Chan, this exciting site affords one the opportunity to swim
with a large collection of Nurse Sharks and Southern Stingrays. The rays, having
wing-spans of up to four feet, swim close enough to be touched as do the nurse
sharks, who are up to six feet in length.
Cypress Canyons - Victoria Tunnels
Both of these sites are within a five-minute boat ride from the resort. Each
offers great visibility, abundant fish species, and canyon formations at 60 to
90 feet.
Rocky Point - Mexico Rocks
Farther north, about 30 minutes, to a point where the reef meets the island
is Rocky Point. This is an especially great place to view coral of many colors
and also have a chance to see large silver Tarpon lurking around these waters.
Mexico Rocks is one of the best canyon sites with several caves in the coral to
explore.
Lighthouse Reef
The farthest offshore reefs, Lighthouse Reef is about two and a half hours away. It is a
popular area for divers especially for its own merits but also because it is the
home of the Blue Hole. The best diving on Lighthouse is located at its southern
end, at either Half Moon Caye or Long Caye. Both have unique dive experiences
and are well worth the trip. Additionally many of the dive trips stop at Half
Moon Caye for lunch where you will be able to view the endangered Red Footed
Boobie, one of only two known habitats to support this this
species.
The Blue Hole
This is one of the claims to fame for many divers around the world, been
there, done that. The blue hole is a limestone sinkhole which is almost
perfectly round. It is over 1000 feet across and over 400 feet deep. The walls
of the dive are steep and not until you reach levels below 110 feet do you begin
to see the stalactites that are the roof of this monstrous cave. It is hard to
imagine that just a little over 10,000 years ago this formation was an above
ground cave. What the Blue Hole lacks in coral and aquatic life it overwhelms
with a true sense of awe. See Dive Packages.
Turneffe Islands
Just two-hours offshore, the Turneffe Islands are the largest of the three
offshore atoll reefs in Belize. Although these islands are little more than
small sandbars with mangroves and swampy lagoons, they provide a phenomenal
habitat for aquatic life and unique diving. A favorite area known as the Elbow
includes species from tube-sponges to deep-water gorgonians. See Dive Packages. |
