Your trip starts with a boat pick up at your nearest dock. On the boat before each dive, you will be given a thorough dive site briefing. The journey to the local dive sites is usually just a few minutes. Hol Chan is 10 minutes away, Bacalar Chico is 45 minutes. The boat crew will assist you in putting on your BCD, and help you enter the water. Dives usually last 45 minutes. The Divemasters will help you during the dive (if needed), and after the dive they will assist you in getting back on the dive boat, including removing and storing your gear. Once back on the boat, you will be given a cold pouch of drinking water and a hot eucalyptus scented hand towel to wash off the salt water. Upon returning to the dock between local dives, you will be treated to fresh fruit, juices, cookies, chips and salsa.

After your surface interval, dive 2 takes place. Afterwards the dive the boat cruises back to the dock and then you will be transferred back to the dock nearest to your accommodation.

The reef runs parallel to the shore and consists of a variety of ecosystems: mangrove cayes, coral reefs, seagrass bed and lagoons. This means a great variety of diving in well protected waters. You can also expect a wider variety of species here than many other parts of Belize, such as nurse sharks, southern sting rays and horse-eye jacks.

Turneffe Atoll is the largest and most spectacular of the 3 atolls in Belize. There are dive sites here to suit all experience levels from shallow reefs to wrecks and drop-offs. Big fish action can include manta rays. eagle rays, nurse sharks and, if you are very lucky, even hammerheads and dolphins.

Lighthouse Reef is the jewel in the Belizean diving crown; its reefs are spectacularly colourful and packed with life. It is also close to the world-famous Blue Hole. Watch the Belize diving video to get a better idea of what to expect from your Belize trip.
