The Long Caye Ridge is located on the western side of Long Caye It is named from a ridge of reefs sticking out that form a small peninsula just north of Tres Cocos. Spur-and-groove formations can be found on the bottom leading to the wall and a drop-off of major proportions. The grooves are perpendicular to the wall and go directly into the sea. With depths of 40 plus feet, 80 feet of visibility and minimal currents, the Long Caye Ridge is excellent for beginners. The sponges, coral, and fish here are similar to those on Hat Caye Drop-Off. There are many large and colorful sponges and delicate gorgonians near the drop-off and all along the wall. Below the soft coral, vase and tube sponges, there are developments of finger and yellow pencil corals. You will also see coral niches for spotted crabs, lobsters, filefish and arrow blennies. This is also a great site for underwater photos.
