Belize: Diving in Ambergris Caye

The diving off the northern cayes of the Belize is world class, so it didn't take much persuasion for us to book a two-dive trip to the reefs off Ambergris Caye, just to the north of Caye Caulker. Our dive operator chose two of the classic locations off the southeast corner of Ambergris – Esmeralda Canyons and Cypress Canyons – and after waiting for a tropical downpour to clear away, we set off on the 30-minute dash to the reefs off Ambergris.
