Scuba Diving

Whether you’re a seasoned diver or new to the underwater world, Ray Caye puts you right where the action is. Located just three miles from the Belize Barrier Reef—the second-largest reef system in the world—our island offers unbeatable access to some of the best diving in the Caribbean.

Our on-site dive center, Pirate Reef Divers, is run by passionate and knowledgeable professionals who know the reef inside and out. They’ll take you to the best dive sites based on weather and visibility, and they’re here to make your diving experience safe, fun, and unforgettable. Even if you’re not staying on Ray Caye, you’re welcome to dive with us!

The reef is teeming with life—over 25 species of reef fish, vibrant coral gardens, and if you’re lucky, gentle whale sharks during their seasonal visits (April–June). Best of all, our close proximity to the reef means less time commuting and more time underwater. After your dive, you’ll be back on the island in time for lunch, a swim, or a sunset cocktail.
