Turneffe Island Resort, Belize
|
Belize, one of the smallest nations in Central America, but it offers huge opportunities when it comes to exploration, relaxation, romance, and scuba diving.
Belize is a world-class scuba diving destination. This Central American country is home to the largest barrier reef in the northern hemisphere and has three of only four coral atolls in the western hemisphere. There are unlimited dive locations for all levels from beginners to experts. |
|
Three of the four true coral atolls found in the Western Hemisphere are located outside of the barrier reef.
Turneffe, the largest, is located only 1.5 hours by boat from the mainland and is lauded for it’s healthy reefs and perhaps Belize’s most diverse sea life. |
|
Whitespotted Toadfish
|
There are 100’s of nearby mangrove islands providing homes and nursery grounds to many species of marine life including the endemic Whitespotted Toadfish.
|
|
Most diving takes place around the atoll's southern tip.The fringing reefs offer shallow coral gardens, vertical walls, and coral pinnacles with canyons and swim-throughs.
‘The Elbow’, Turneffe’s signature dive, is a popular stop for giant groupers, Atlantic spadefish, mackerel, barracuda, and several species of sharks. |
|
|
Half Moon Caye!
Don’t forget your cameras! The marine life on the dramatic walls of Half Moon Caye is not the only wildlife you’ll be filming. In the Half Moon Caye Bird sanctuary, Red-footed Booby birds can be found along with frigate birds and turtle nesting sites. |
|
Enjoy a custom full day trip on Tuesday to dive the impressive Blue Hole and spectacular reefs of Half Moon Caye and Long Caye. The trip includes lunch on Half Moon Caye beach and a visit to the Red Footed Booby Sanctuary.

“One of the four must-dive
locations on this blue planet”
Jacques Cousteau
|
In addition to the spectacular reefs teeming with marine life, Belize boasts the most recognizable landmark in the scuba world…. The Blue Hole. And a dive trip to Belize would not be complete without an excursion to this massive ocean cavern. The Blue Hole was originally a cave that formed about 10,000 years ago. It's visible from outer space, and is home to some of the largest midnight parrot fish in the world.

|
|
From paddle boarding and kayaking to commandeering the resident Hobie Cat, the island is yours for the taking with many complementary activities. Stay in with board games and books or try your hand at bocci with newfound friends. And there's always time to swing in a hammock with a refreshing cocktail.
|
|
The professional dive staff will spoil you with signature valet service as they manage your dive equipment for the entire week.
Certified Divemasters point out abundant sea life including turtles, eagle rays, giant grouper, nurse and reef sharks, angelfish, puffers, and the indigenous whitespotted toadfish. Just step into the boat and moments later you’ll be drifting along the sheer blue walls of the atoll. You’ll be amazed by the variety of marine life and coral along the remote reefs. |
