Shark-Ray Alley

Dive site in
Ambergris Caye, Belize District
Improve

Shark-Ray Alley is a popular dive site in Belize. The site came to be due to the local fisherman that cleaned their catch outside the reef. The fish offal began attracting large animals such as Southern stingrays and nurse sharks. The animals quickly learned that they would continue to receive their meals if they return to this spot. The local divemasters noticed this behavior and started to bring divers to this area.

The water is only 2.4 meters/8 feet deep, so anyone – from snorkelers and beginner divers to advanced divers - can enjoy Shark-Ray Alley.

You can dive in Belize all year round but the best time for diving is between April and June.

You do not have to be afraid. The sand sharks and rays that live there have a great tolerance for divers and seem to enjoy human interaction.

The sand sharks and rays that live there have a great tolerance for divers and seem to enjoy human interaction. Rays, which have a 1.5-meter "wing extension", swim directly to divers, inviting them to stretch and caress their wings (though it's best not to touch them). Some also swim in circles around us, like a cat rubbing against our legs. The gentle Nurse Sharks are an average of 1.5 meters long, and dive guides often feed them with small pieces of fish. This is a truly unforgettable adventure. Beginning divers can also enjoy this encounter with nature. Be sure to visit Shark-Ray Alley during your stay at Caye Caulker. I enjoyed this dive so much that I did the tour twice. The dive site is shallow, with a depth of about 1.6 meters which is perfect, and lies in the shallow, crystalline waters within the reef of Shark-Ray Alley.
