4 miles off the coast of Ambergris Caye Island in Belize in a marine reserve call Hol Chan. This reserve has 4 zones full of a huge variety of ocean life. I mean it's like swimming through a National Geographic picture. It is amazing regardless of if you are snorkeling or scuba diving. The Caribbean, clear, water has incredible visibility. It is a guided tour starting around $12.50 US dollars and goes up from there depending on how much you want to do. There are sharks, fish, Barracudas, turtles, starfish, lobsters, and my favorite stingrays. You are literally swimming with the wildlife. The guides are amazing and will show you how to be with the wildlife and feed them as well.

| The stingrays were my favorite. As long as we were feeding them they didn't care we were petting them. They felt like soggy waffles and they had these crazy cat eyes. There were little ones with a wing span of about 12 inches then there were some huge ones. They were close to 4 feet across. They look like they are flying through the water when they swim. They don't have teeth so they suck there food into their mouths which are located underneathe them. |

| We were lucky enough to see a sea turtle! He was a grabby turtle. He tried to bite me when I touch his shell. Note to self, wild animals are wild animals. |
One of my favorite places to see for sure.
