Sun Dancer II visits atolls that lie offshore beyond Belize's barrier reef. The most famous of the atolls is Lighthouse Reef, home of the Blue Hole and the magnificent nature preserve at Half Moon Caye. You can expect visibility to reach 120 feet or more at these spectacular sites. The walls and drop-offs are spectacular. The reef is virgin and pristine. The waters surrounding Belize are teeming with large and small fish, and some of the most spectacular sponge formations found anywhere. During the dives, a wide variety of marine life can be observed such as eagle rays, turtles, tarpon, sharks and the occasional wild dolphin. Among the reef's inhabitants are enormous schools of jack, large black groupers, green morays, octopus and midnight parrotfish.
