Scuba Diving / Snorkeling / Reefs

Belize is more than just a terrestrial paradise.  It’s an underwater marvel as well, offering big islands, hundreds of smaller offshore isles, three huge and distinctive coral atolls, and the world’s second largest barrier reef.  Belizean waters are filled with shallow gardens of coral, steep drop-offs speckled with vibrant sponges and other marine life. With the world famous Great Blue Hole it's no wonder that Belize is one of the world's most suited diving adventures. The most popular offshore destination in Belize is Ambergris Caye - the northernmost and the largest of the many cayes, it is home to the little town of San Pedro.  Singer and songwriter Madonna once sang about this beloved island in her song, "Isla Bonita". Ambergris' sandy streets are filled with charming shops and great restaurants just off the shore of the Caribbean Sea. The dive environment includes over 20 miles of barrier reef that runs parallel to the island. This island offers divers more than 40 named dive sites that can be reached from Las Terrazas each and every day!

Parasailing & Waverunners

Sail high above the sea and get a bird's eye view of San Pedro. Due to variable underwater terrain, this trip will take off from the Fido's dock in San Pedro. Nerve racking excitement is included as you glide through the skies and enjoy the incredible views. If flying is not for you, rent a two-seated wave runner and blast up and down the waterfront with the feeling of complete freedom. Both activities offer a different and unique perspective of the coast of Ambergris Caye. - Level of difficulty - EASY TO MODERATE..
