Unda da sea 🐠 in Belize!
This is South Water Caye Belize. A beautiful island about 40 minutes off the mainland. I want to return and live there! #Belize #Travel #Island #Beach
This is what you call a loo with a view! Visited here on a day out sea kayaking. The surrounding waters include some of the most spectacular snorkelling I have ever encountered. Located fifteen miles offshore on this small island, Smithsonian scientists and their collaborators travel there to conduct research on the biology, ecology, and geology of coral reef ecosystems. #AquaTrove
Jumping into that beautiful Belizean water! #Belize #Ocean #Travel
