Hamanasi’s barrier reef dive trips explore areas in and around the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, one of the largest marine reserve in Belize, spanning from just north of Tobacco Caye to a cut five miles south of South Water Caye called Grand Channel. The trip out to the Southern Barrier Reef is ten miles and it takes 30-40 minutes to get to the first dive site. This pristine southern section of the reef sees few divers and is typically a wall dive that is interspersed with sand channels and spur and groove sections. With literally dozens of dive sites, Hamanasi divemasters will show you a wide variety of this area.

On our dive trips we often see turtles, moray eels, barracuda, king mackerel, eagle rays and southern stingrays, as well as the micro marine life like Pedersen shrimp, colorful gobie cleaning stations and spotted drums.  Hamanasi divers have seen manta rays, hammerhead sharks, jew fish and dolphins up close.  Some of our common dive sites include Jason’s Wall, Elsie’s Aquarium, Carrie Bow, South Water Wall, Trick Ridge, Hell Hole and The Abyss.  On these trips, we often stop by a postcard coral isle, such as South Water Caye, perched right on the Barrier Reef.
