Dive Information
Dive Overview
While diving throughout the Turneffe Atoll, you will see a variety of hard and soft corals as well as all of the Caribbean tropicals, eagle rays, sharks, turtles, dolphins, moray eels, and occasionally a whale shark in addition to large schools of permit, horse eye jacks and dog snapper.
Typical Diving Day
Following a delicious breakfast, a typical dive day begins at 8:00 AM and includes three boat dives. Depending on the dive location, we either return to the resort for lunch or pack a lunch. Traveling to the dive sites takes from ten minutes to an hour, with the longest trip being to the Blue Hole. On Blue Hole day we leave between 7:00 and 7:30 AM which often makes us the first boat there. The weekly night dive is usually on Wednesday evening. We generally dive the Elbow, at the Southern tip of Turneffe, later in the week. On Fridays, we do two or three dives depending on divers flights the following day.
