Reefs support some of the most diverse and exciting marine life on Earth, but divers need not trek to Australia for world-class reef diving. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef off the country of Belize, just south of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, is well within range of US flights. Numerous day boats in Belize provide access to this amazing underwater resource, but live-aboard operations offer unlimited dive access to top-quality reef sites with names like Aquarium, Cathedral, Eagle Ray Wall and Tarpon Caves. Join Michael on a photographic journey to these exciting reef locations from the live-aboard Sun Dancer II and witness the “Great Reef” of the Western Hemisphere. In addition to photographs from one week of diving, this presentation documents the adventures of a 30 mile river journey to visit ancient Mayan Ruins.
