SNORKELING TOURS
Belize boasts the Western Hemisphere’s longest continuous barrier reef, approximately 185 miles of coral formations with a large variety of marine life. The Southern Barrier Reef offers several different snorkeling sites for both beginners and experienced snorkelers in a pristine environment. With visibility ranging between 60 to 100 ft, snorkelers often have close encounters with eagle rays, southern stingrays, octopus and even dolphins.
The majority of our snorkeling takes place in the South Water Caye Marine Reserve where conservation and safety are the two key words. A certified Belizean Tour guide who would love to share his passion and knowledge of the ocean with you accompanies all snorkelers. For safety reasons we never dive and snorkel at the same site.
The sun in the tropics can be intense! Please take appropriate precautions and wear sunscreen and a t-shirt or wetsuit.

Please Note:
* All divers are required to complete a Scuba Diving Liability Release Waiver and sign off on PADI¹s Safe Diving Standards.
* All divers must have certification cards and all major certifications are accepted. No one is permitted to dive without a valid certification card, unless he participates in a Discover Scuba Diving or Open Water Course.
* Certified divers who have not had the pleasure of diving for over a year are strongly encouraged to complete a short Rusty Diver Course.
* Trip minimums apply! If we do not have enough divers for our trips, especially atoll trips, we will stick to the Barrier Reef. In that unlikely event you will still be able to enjoy excellent diving on a great number of different sites. We try to dive all 3 atolls every week but are not always successful. We dive the Southern Barrier Reef almost every day.
* Gear storage is available in the Hamanasi Adventure Center. Hamanasi staff carries all gear to and from the boats, assists with preparation and washes all equipment in fresh water every day. Hamanasi is not liable for missing or damaged equipment.
* The nearest recompression chamber is on Ambergris Caye. Hamanasi is a paid member of the group managing the chamber. A portion of our dive fees is paid over to the Recompression Chamber. This contribution supports the chamber and reduces your fees in the unlikely event that you would need to use the chamber.
* We strongly recommend DAN insurance, which can be purchased at Hamanasi Adventure Center.
Hamanasi also offers scuba dive certification and training if you are interested
