Hol Chan Dive & Snorkel Combo
Dive one of Belize's most famous marine reserves, then head directly to Shark Ray Alley for an unforgettable snorkeling experience—all in one convenient half-day adventure.
Dive Hol Chan. Snorkel Shark Ray Alley.
This combination trip lets certified divers experience Hol Chan Marine Reserve underwater before heading directly to Shark Ray Alley for a snorkeling encounter with some of Belize's most recognizable marine life.
Hol Chan Marine Reserve
Hol Chan is one of the best-known marine areas around Ambergris Caye. The dive offers an opportunity to explore a vibrant section of the Belize Barrier Reef in relatively shallow water, making it accessible to a broad range of certified divers.
Your divemaster will provide a full briefing before entering the water, including conditions, maximum depth and the planned route through the reserve.
How the Combo Works
Unlike our local multi-tank trips, you do not return to the dive center between these two activities. After completing the Hol Chan dive, the boat heads directly to Shark Ray Alley.
