Where Is Belize Located?

Located just south of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Belize is geographically part of Central America. But English is the official language, and the country's British colonial heritage is clearly reflected in Belize's culture and infrastructure. Scuba diving in Belize is done from Ambergris Caye, from the out islands of Turneffe Atoll, Lighthouse Reef, and Glover's Atoll, and from a few dive resorts on the mainland in the south of the country. Due to the diversity of scuba diving areas, Belize is also a prime destination for live aboard diving.
