Definitely! Some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world. Do yourself a favor and look up Juni when you get to Caye Caulker. His house is right on front street, the oldest one on the island. He only takes out 6-7 people at a time, and the guy is literally 'one with the ocean'.
He's been swimming with the fish/rays/turtles for over 40 years and they follow him around like something out of a Disney movie. One of the rays (skate actually) has been swimming with him for 30 years. He's also a gruff older man that builds his own boats from scratch.
He'll take you way out and get you away from the other tourist snorkel tours in Hol Chan, the ones with large groups that are wearing flotation devices. Juni just jumps in the water and you're expected to keep up as he shows you 'his world'.
Definitely the best snorkeling I've ever done.
Bring an underwater camera to Belize if you can, almost all of my best pics from Belize were thanks to an underwater camera.
