Hol chan marine reserve
Only four miles south of San Pedro, or a bit further north from Caye Caulker, this is the most popular dive site in the country. Without doubt, the main attraction is the cut in the reef whose Mayan name, Hol Chan means 'little cut'. It's a channel 30 feet deep, with steep coral-lined walls. Fish seem to have got wise to the fact that fishing is prohibited here, and congregate in huge numbers. Hidden in the coral crevices there are Moray Eels. With their gleaming white teeth and gaping jaws, these awesome predators are not to be toyed with. Some of the biggest fish around are the Black Groupers, now reaching fairly impressive proportions after being protected from fishermen for several years. They are there all year except spawning time between December and February. As well as the fish (and there's over 500 species of them) there's the crustaceans, from tiny Red- banded Coral Shrimp to the sizeable Spiny Lobster. It's actually a crayfish, but since it's heaviiy fished everywhere else in Belize, this is your best chance of seeing what you might be eating later in the day.My Guide Belize is part of the global My Guide Network of Online & Mobile travel guides.
