Your first stop on this trip will be Hol Chan, which is Mayan and means "little channel".
It is Belize 's first underwater park, a protected area since 1986.
Because it is protected, there is more marine life in this small isolated spot, than
anywhere in the whole country. Your second stop is Shark Ray Alley. 
This unique site developed when fishermen came inside the reef to pause and clean
their catch, preferring this spot because there are never any waves. It looks quite like a
big aquarium with no walls around it. Numerous sting rays and nurse sharks
hang out here, waiting for boats to get their share of sardines our Dive master
brings for them. Nowhere else can you get this close to marine life. A must visit
snorkel site similar
to Stingray City in the Cayman Islands . This site has double
the action
though as in addition to the Stingrays there are also resident nurse
sharks as well as coral formation and a variety of other fish life.
Shark Ray Alley is located just five to ten minutes south of Hol-Chan
marine reserve.
