Shark Ray Alley

Welcome to Shark Ray Alley, a part of the Belize National Parks and Natural Reserves and Wildlife Sanctuaries programs. This Caribbean area is named among the top seven spots for animal dives by one of the most popular historic diving magazines.

Located just inside the reef, south of Ambergris Caye, Shark Ray Alley's highly popular diving, touring, sailing, and snorkeling spot offers a variety of tours, each focusing primarily on the wildlife. Be sure to bring your camera because you and your group will have many opportunities to glimpse nurse sharks and southern stingrays at play. It is almost a guarantee you will see a shark, whether from the boat or during a dive or snorkel session, hence the area’s name, Shark Ray Alley.

The history behind this spot is a simple one. The tropical island waters were once a haven for local fishermen for cleaning their fish, throwing the remains in the waters which immediately attracted nurse sharks and stingrays. During a boat session or tour, your guide or dive master will point out any dark shadows in the shallow eight-foot waters and guide you safely. Somewhat surprising to some, the sharks around these waters are so used to humans and ample daily feedings that they will come right up to you. They tolerate divers and visitors and seem to actually enjoy the interaction, as do the rays who beg you to pet their 2-4 foot wingspan, though it’s highly recommended that you don’t. This is a great opportunity for your group to observe local wildlife behavior, feed them, and learn all about their gorgeous ecosystem surrounding you. Trust us, your group will thank you for this adventure of a lifetime!
