About this site
South Channel lies within Belize's barrier reef system, off the Belize coast in the western Caribbean, and is a drift dive that reaches a maximum depth of around 8 metres. It's generally considered a beginner dive, with the shallow depth suiting divers just starting out. Divers here have reported eagle rays, grouper, nurse sharks, parrotfish, and snapper along the reef.
