About Long Caye Aquarium
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.
