One of our best dives in Belize. So much marine life there is no wonder where the name came from.

Probably my favorite dive site in Belize! It was super clear, with beautiful marine life and corals. Night dive was excellent :)

I went scuba diving here on 8/24/2012. Water temp: 81-85°F/27-29°C.
Aptly named - tons of fish, even at the surface. I’m sure it helped that our divemaster brought a bottle of rice and beans to feed them.

From my log 3/16/2008 80 degrees and 80’ vis. Aqurarium, started off slow but lots of fish, one Eagleray cruising off the wall and a turtle feeding on a sponge.

2nd dive Aquarium again, one free swimming green moray and one small spotted moray. Under the boat are tarpon but not as big as the ones at Cheesburger (CZM).

3rd dive Aquarium again but at night, we stay south of the mooring on top of the reef. Not a lot out, a huge slipper lobster, some arrow crabs, grouper and tarpon hunting under the boat.
