About this site
Sand Bar sits along the barrier reef off Ambergris Caye, the largest island off the coast of Belize, in the Belize District, and is typically reached by boat from operators based in San Pedro. Verified data puts the maximum depth here at 27.4 metres, deeper than the shallow, sandy-bottomed profile the name might suggest for a training or easy dive. Sites near the reef cuts in this area often combine sand patches with adjacent reef structure, giving divers a mix of open bottom and coral relief within a single site.
