Two excellent expeditions focus on Scuba Diving and Snorkeling ... both at Belize.

World-renowned marine scientist Dr. Sylvia Earle will lead an Oceanic Society expedition to Blackbird Caye, Turneffe Atoll, Belize, to foster public awareness regarding the need for marine protected areas and to discuss potential solutions for preserving oceanic biodiversity.

Participants in this event can enjoy daily scuba diving and guided snorkeling along healthy reefs coupled with informative evening presentations on current scientific findings on preserving marine resources, and what individuals can do to help protect oceans.

Another expedition introduces participants to whale sharks, the gentle giants of the sea. In the company of an Oceanic Society naturalist, we will search for whale sharks that congregate off Belize's coast annually to feed on fish spawn (masses of fish eggs.) While the dedicated focus of this land-based expedition will be whale sharks, daily activities will include snorkeling from uninhabited islands, and diving along coral reefs.
