Belize Scuba Diving Packages

Dive Belize

Just off our island resort at Glover's Reef, Belize lies "The Wall" - the stunning coral-covered face of the continental shelf, where the sea floor drops away to 3000 feet in just a mile. Rated one of the top deep sea diving areas in the world, it rivals any location in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, or the South Pacific. The top of The Wall is seen in the photo of our island above, where the bright white sand line meets the deep blue of the ocean.

Belize Scuba Courses

Medical Concerns

All students must be physically fit to dive. If there is any medical issue that a potential student may have, the dive shop requests that the student visit the PADI website to obtain a copy of the PADI medical release form. The student’s doctor needs to fill this out; PADI no longer recognizes a simple note from the doctor allowing the student to dive. Areas of concern for diving fitness include: diabetes, respiratory problems, circulation problems, heart problems, major surgery, and asthma.

Diving for Kids

There is a minimum age limit of 10 for scuba diving, although the age limit is under the discretion of the Dive Instructor. The age limit for the Bubble Maker course is 8 years of age, which has a 6-foot depth limit and the course takes one-half day. Non divers or snorkelers may not join divers on the boat while divers are diving or taking courses. Therefore, single parents may not go scuba diving unless they have another adult in their party that can supervise their kids while they dive.
