Belize is covered with lush jungle, oceans and rivers, and gracious English speaking locals from various cultures. To prepare yourself for this adventure take swimming lessons if you are a weaker swimmer. No one wants to be so close to beautiful blue waters without being able to dive in. The Great Blue Hole, formed when a cave collapsed, is a must see on guided dive tours. Snorkelers will enjoy scores of tropical fish as they see the Northern hemisphere’s longest reef. Taking dive training would be wise for newbies to the ocean.
