Sorry for stepping in, but I couldn't resist. My favorite local dive site is Cypress. But I also like Boca Ciega and Victoria Tunnels. On the other hand, I saw a humungous barrel sponge and a nest of 8-10 Pederson Cleaning Shrimp out at San Pedro Cut the other day.
A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?

There are many who have been to more spots than me, with that said my favorites are: 1. Turneffe Atoll area, by far the best walls for the area. 2. The cut by Hol Chan, many many fish, but be warned...heavy current...you'll need to be rested and alert, boats transit so surfaceing might be risky. 3. Tres Coco's 4. Dos Coco's 5.//ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/article9.html read this for my entire trip report...hope you enjoy it.
Life May Be a Beach...I prefer Reefs...

As far as diving out at the Atolls goes, my favs are Halfmoon Caye Wall and the Aquarium. These dives were a bit murky a week or so ago but all the other times that I have dived them, they were fabulous.
For the Halfmoon dive, I love how you drop above the white sand and as you descend you can often see the tracks made by the conch across the sand. I love how you swim through a space between two coral heads and come out soaring over the lip of the wall. Recently, I loved how an eagle ray came along and soared with me after he was done flashing the others. We spent some quality time together.
I still really enjoy the Blue Hole too but I've done it enough times now, that what I'd really like is a day trip that could combine Halfmoon Caye Wall and Aquarium with another dive from the Turneffe Elbow day trip.
I guess what I really need to do is a liveaboard trip or spend some time out at Turneffe Resort.
