Central America is home to some of the world’s best dive sites. For diving enthusiasts, the following dive sites are a must:

• The Great Blue Hole in Belize, a giant marine sinkhole that boasts dramatic underwater cliffs that plunge to depths of 407 feet. The legendary marine biologist Jacques Cousteau visited the site in 1971 and later described it as one of his favorite dive sites.
• The Great Mexican Reef is the second-largest barrier reef in the world. The reef stretched from almost 1,000 km off the Caribbean coast of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize.
• Diving with sharks off Cocos Island, Costa Rica, known as one of the world’s best dive sites. The site is home to whitetip reef sharks along with other large marine critters like sea turtles and manta rays.

Central America, including countries like Costa Rica, is considered amongst the most bio-diverse countries in the world, making a Central America yacht charter a must for wildlife lovers. Wildlife you can see in Central America includes:
