Lighthouse Reef West-Side Dives (Silver Caves, Tres Cocos, West Point)
17° 12.4′ N · 87° 36.6′ W · approximate
Besides the Blue Hole, Half Moon Caye Wall and the Aquarium, Lighthouse Reef's notable dives include Silver Caves, Tres Cocos and West Point - classic atoll walls usually dived from the Long Caye side.
Practical
Position approximate: a placeholder off Long Caye, the usual yacht base; no published waypoints for these three sites were found, so dive them only with a licensed Lighthouse Reef operator who knows the moorings. Site names are from Wikipedia, citing Moon Travel Guides (2015). Never anchor on coral - in 2020 a yacht's anchor damaged the Aquarium (see Long Caye Anchorage). Belize Audubon fees apply in the Blue Hole and Half Moon Caye monuments.
