With glorious warm water year round in the Caribbean there is really no need to wear a wet suit when diving; however, most divers choose to wear a 1-2mm short/spring suit or a lycra body suit for protection purposes. Standard air gagues hired in Belize read in psi, whilst dive depth is generally referred to in feet "(rather than meteric meters).

Tips for Diving Belize

• Whale Shark season in Belize is generally between March and June.
