Belize is home to the largest section of the barrier reef in the Americas. The reef has crystal clear waters with beautiful coral gardens and a reef system which is home to an impressive range of marine life from clownfish to the stunning whale shark.
Despite its enormous coastline, Brazil has very few places which are good for diving and snorkelling. The one exception is the small national park island of Fernando de Noronha situated 500 km off its north east coast. Time consuming and expensive to get to due to the flights means few people make it this far out, but your rewards for making here are worth it.
What makes Mexico such a popular place for snorkelling and diving is the combination of soft brilliantly white beaches coupled with the excellent visibility in the warm and clear Caribbean waters.
Central America is one of the cheapest places in the world to learn how to dive. A full PADI course will usually take around 5 days to complete; although many dive schools can arrange for you to do an introductory dive.

I couldn’t recommend Mark and the team at Latin Odyssey more highly. An exceptional service from beginning to end.
