estate for macro treasures like octopus, salfin blennie, pipehorses, and sea horses. Ask your Aggressor or Dancer dive guide what the macro subject ???du jour??? might be. But be careful not to kick up too much sand while critter hunting, or you might scare away that delicate seahorse you???ve so desperately been searching for Night dives in Belize bring out even more amazing macro subjects: Images of banded coral shrimp shoveling handfuls of worms into their mouths, lobsters on a midnight march, and even a close encounter with a squid will follow you out of the water and into your dreams after the last dive of the day. Diving Belize???s atolls is all about the dramatic walls; and wide-angle photography off 1000-foot drop-offs has its advantages and challenges. The biggest value of walls to photographers is the easy access to getting below the subjects and shooting upwards. This means opportunities for nice blue backgrounds and perfect alignment of the sun. A lot of photography boo
ks will tell you not to shoot into the sun ??? those same books also probably say not to bring your camera with you in the ocean in the first place! Shooting into the sun is a great creative technique for wide-angle underwater photography. A beautiful sun ball behind your strobe lit subject can provide extra depth to your images. n order to make the sun anything but a big white blob you will need to max out your shutter speed and use tight apertures, which means you foreground subject will be very dark. Therefore, for larger subjects, like the healthy barrel sponges found in Belize, you will need a lot of strobe power to bring back color and detail into your subject. Another technique you can utilize on walls is to get completely beneath your subject, and shoot up at it so it blocks the sun. You will get dramatic sunrays extending from the subject without having to worry about exposing for the bring sun. Keep an eye out for coral and sponge protrusions from the reef, which allow t
he photographer to shoot up and separate the stunning reds, greens, or yellows from the reef. Sandwiched between Mexico, Guatemala and the shimmering Caribbean Sea, Belize occupies a slice of paradise that is packed with culture, wildlife and a wondrous selection of historical sites. Much of the mainland remains swathed in jungle, where the vestiges of ancient cities punctuate verdant forest canopies. Caracol is the most famous. Its crumbling temples and stone pyramids stand as powerful reminders of the Maya civilisation. The history is fascinating for sure, but most people visit Belize to see its natural wonders and admirable conservation work; the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary was the first jaguar sanctuary in the world; the island of Half Moon Caye has been entirely dedicated to the conservation of birds; and the protected Belize Barrier Reef harbours an incredible array of marine life. Visitors can swim with sharks and stingrays along colourful walls of coral, or explore t
he Blue Hole, renowned as one of the world???s best dive sites. Numbering fewer than 335,000, Belizeans have surprisingly diverse roots: the country is a melting pot of Creole, Garifuna, Mestizo, Spanish, Maya, English, Mennonite, Lebanese, Chinese and East Indian heritage. Racial harmony, religious tolerance and a relatively peaceful political culture, have allowed these different elements to blend successfully and have given Belize a reputation as a friendly, laidback destination. Belize???s towns and cities are small and, on the whole, pleasantly unexciting. San Ignacio is a charming enough stop-off for those disappearing into the jungle and Punta Gorda offers insightful home stays with some of the country???s last remaining indigenous communities. The somewhat bland capital, Belmopan, however, is hardly worth going out your way for and bustling Belize City, though energetic and ruggedly charming, is used largely as a gateway to the islands. And what exquisite islands they are. C
aye Caulker, Ambergris Caye, Cayo Espanto (to name a few) are everything you expect from the Caribbean and more; swaying palms, pellucid waters, sandy shores, ramshackle beach bars and charming restaurants. All that???s missing are the crowds. Go figure. Although this small Central American nation spans less than 9,000 square miles ??? roughly the size of the state of Massachusetts ??? few places on Earth can match Belize's diverse natural beauty. The barrier reef's turquoise and coral hues contrast with the staggering Mayan ruins scattered throughout the country's lush rainforests. Plus, it's not just the landscape, the history, culture and people of Belize are just as blended. Belize has spent years concealed underneath the shadows of its Mexican neighbors ???Canc??n, Cozumel, and Tulum. But today, this Central American country beckons visitors with its thatch-roofed jungle lodges, impressive Mayan ruins, secluded snorkeling and scuba diving havens, and laid-back atmosphere. Sand
wiched between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize's eastern shoreline flanks the Caribbean Sea, while its mainland extends into a myriad of wild rainforests
