Half Moon Wall

Half Moon Wall lies near Half Moon Caye at the southeastern edge of Lighthouse Reef Atoll in Belize, one of the country's three offshore atolls. The site takes its name from the caye it sits beside, a spit of sand and coconut palms that also hosts a red-footed booby colony and a national monument designation. As a wall dive on the atoll's outer edge, it drops off along the rim where the shallow reef flat meets open Caribbean water. The dive here is rated beginner, with depths reaching to around 15 metres.
