Snorkelling with Manatees in Belize

I extended my trip to Mexico in July 2016 and flew to Belize, staying on Ambergris Caye, a coral island a few minutes flight from Belize city and the largest island in Belize. A trip in a local boat took me to a spot where Manatees frequent. I saw my first Manatee within a few minutes of entering the water. Such fantastic luck. Unfortunately, I got some condensation in the camera housing so the images are not so good as others. I also snorkelled off the ‘Secret Beach’ to the north of the island. Underneath the pier was a good spot for small fishes. See https://ambergriscaye.com/index.php for further information.
