BELIZE Western
Caribbean
Belize is located along the eastern shore of Central America and
borders
the Caribbean sea. Belize is a melting pot comprised of immigrants
from
South and Central America, Africa, India, the Mid East, Asia, West
Indies',
and lastly Americans. The Mayan Indians have left behind many
archeological
sites that mark their existence between 1500 B.C. and 1000 A.D. when
they
mysteriously disappeared. The coast is a lowland with marshes,
swamps'
and lagoons.
Ranging from ten to 30 miles off shore lies the barrier reef. Due to
the crystal
clear waters, coral gardens, sand and sea grass bottom, some of the
largest
reef fish and shellfish in the Caribbean can be found here. Divers
should
also visit the coral atolls surrounding Belize such as Turneffe
Reef, and Glover's
Reef.
CHANGA'S
WRECK
Changa's Wreck is the
busted up remains of an old wooden barge. She sits
in l0 feet of water and is home to a nice variety of fish, including
an
occasional stingray.

SAYONARA
The 50 foot long wreck of the Sayonara was a wood hulled transport
vessel
sunk in 1983. She is now sitting in 45 to 50 feet of water very
close to a
wall. The name Sayonara is still visible on her stern section.
The wreck does not seem to attract too much in the way of marine
life but
is, however, a pretty wreck to take pictures of. Wide angle 15 or
20mm
bow photos are nice. Getting your buddy to enter her wheel house
while
taking photographs through her window openings can result in some
great
shots.
Basic shipwreck
information and images for the Caribbean section of this site was
taken with permission from the book Tropical Shipwrecks by Daniel
