Clear-water wall dive off Long Caye.
Clear-water wall dive off Long Caye.
Long Caye Aquarium is a wall dive off Long Caye in Lighthouse Reef, where a shallow reef top gives way to a fast drop into deep water. The site is known for very clear water, colourful reef life, and the kind of open-water drift feel that rewards calm buoyancy and careful separation from the wall. It is a better fit for confident divers and relaxed snorkelers on boat-supported trips than for casual shore-style visits.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep a close eye on separation from the wall and the boat, especially when the current picks up.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A wall profile with shallow reef leading to a steep drop into very deep water.
Freediving
The shallow top of the wall can suit confident freedivers on calm days, but the current and drop-off make it a better scuba site.
Snorkeling
The shallow rim is snorkelable, but the current can make it feel like work rather than a lazy float.
