Dangerous wildlife
Safety Notes
Keep good buoyancy along the wall, follow the guide's profile, and leave ample room for sharks and rays. The site is exposed enough that sea state can feel livelier when wind or swell picks up.

Boat access only; trips are normally operator-run and often require a full-day itinerary from San Pedro or Caye Caulker. Park or monument fees may apply.
Legal Notes
Half Moon Caye sits in a protected marine/nature area. Follow mooring rules, wildlife-distance guidance, and any no-take restrictions from the operator or park.
Local Intel For Half Moon Caye Wall
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Guide-led multilevel wall diving works best here, with a shallow coral rim giving way to blue water. It is a good fit for controlled descents and steady reef scanning rather than fast, deep profiles.
Freediving
Freediving is limited to the shallow rim; the wall and open-water setting make scuba the more practical way to see the site properly.
Snorkeling
Snorkelers can use the shallow reef edge, but the signature scenery sits on the drop-off beyond a casual snorkel profile.
