SNORKEL SHARK RAY ALLEY
Picture
     For several years, local fishermen often cleaned their catch in this area, located just inside the reef, to the south of Ambergris Caye. When fishermen noticed that their activity had attracted Nurse Sharks and several Southern Sting Rays, they reported this information to the dive operations in San Pedro, who then dispatched some divers to investigate. What they found was a bonanza, and "Shark-Ray Alley" quickly became a very popular dive site.
     This is a must stop for the first introductory dive in Belizean waters. Zone D is only 15 minutes south of San Pedro by boat. Shark Ray Alley has a maximum depth of 30 feet and excellent visibility. You can almost always see all species of fish including jacks, groupers, snappers, parrot fish, angel fish, barracuda, eels, spider crabs, lobster, and nurse sharks. Divers are occasionally cautioned regarding the currents.
     As soon as your boat arrives in the area, you will notice a number of dark shadows in the shallow (eight foot deep) waters. These are the sharks and rays that hear the boat approach and come in search of a few scraps of fish.
     These creatures have a great tolerance for divers and seem to enjoy the human interaction. The rays, which have a 'wing-span' of two to four feet, swim directly towards the divers, inviting them to reach out and stroke their wings (although it's best not to touch them). The gentle Nurse Sharks average four to six feet in length.  
     While the animals show no fear of humans and will often swim right up to snorkelers, it is best to keep a distance and not touch the animals.
     Shark Ray Alley, has been rated as one of the best animal dives in the Caribbean.  Don't miss this tour.
