One of the best experiences in my life was a snorkelling trip which I arranged from Caye Caulker I swam amongst friendly nurse sharks (you can stroke them!) and graceful stingrays. Even though I had seen the pictures before I couldn’t believe it until I had patted the sharks and stingrays myself. Whilst this fantastic experience is possible in Belize please check before repeating elsewhere in the world! - Steve Lidgey
