Snorkeling Carrie Bow Caye - BelizeSnorkeling Carrie Bow Caye was interesting and pretty good, but not exceptional. We snorkeled the barrier reef area in the cut on the south end of Carrie Bow Caye. Carrie Bow Caye is a located right on the barrier reef, just a little south of Dangriga. We pulled in here after our morning ocean crossing sailing back from Glover's Reef. It was a small area and pretty healthy, which is to be expected right on the barrier reef with all the flowing currents moving in and out of the barrier cut.
There was a nice variety of hard corals that were very healthy, as well as some beautiful soft corals. In the picture below you can see another example of the Flamingo Tongue snail.
Like many of the barrier reef areas in Belize, there was not a great number of fish, but we did see some beautiful fish like the Queen Triggerfish below.
And in the picture below you can just make out the long Trumpetfish trying to look inconspicuous.
In the next picture you can see two types of sponges, including the Black-Ball Sponge.
