In recent years visitors to Belize have rated the "marine attractions'' as the primary reason for coming to Belize. With an unrivalled barrier reef in this hemisphere the marine attractions are as varied as the natural formations that make up this 180 ml. coastal treasure. Divers and snorkelers can experience the barrier reef, coral atolls, fringing reefs, patch reefs and faroe, each offering differing underwater coral formations and a variety of flora, fish and marine creatures.
