Hol Chan (Mayan for "little cut") Marine Reserve is Belize's most popular snorkeling and dive site. The park encompasses 5sq.mi/8sq.km of protected area made up of coral formations, sea grass beds and mangroves. The main attraction is the cut in the reef, which is a 30ft/9.5m deep and has steep, coral-lined walls. Another main feature of Hol Chan is a crescent-shaped sinkhole known as the Cat's Eye.
Numerous species of fish, crustaceans and corals can be viewed at Hol Chan Marine Reserve. These species include black groupers, eels, spadefish, spiny lobster, finger and brain coral. Visitors will not be disappointed since several schools of colorful fish are always present, however the reserve is often crowded.
