Belize Aggressor III

The Aggressor fleet brings its trademark professionalism to Belize diving cruises in the form of the impressive Belize Aggressor III liveaboard. Departing every Saturday, you will visit the best sites around Turneffe and Lighthouse reefs as well as the world-famous Blue Hole, provided weather conditions allow. The diving here is in generally easy conditions but deeper dives are possible too, so it will suit all types of scuba diver.

The Belize Aggressor comfortably accommodates 18 divers in 9 double or twin en-suite cabins, each with its own TV and DVD player. Boat facilities include a saloon with full entertainment system, and a sundeck with hot tub jacuzzi and wet bar. Beer and wine are free of charge onboard.

All diving (up to 5 dives per day) is done with maximum convenience from the dive platform at the stern of this 110ft (33½m), mono-hulled motor boat. Diving facilities include a huge dive deck with personal gear bins, in-place air/nitrox fills, rinse tanks and a 3-tier camera table with low- pressure air hoses as well as digital photo center. Diver tracking devices are available for rent, as are underwater cameras for both still and video. In keeping with the spirit of top-notch guest service, the Belize Aggressor is also well equipped to conduct dive courses, whether it be an open water referral or continued education up to rescue diver.

The Belize Aggressor returns to port on Friday where land tours, including to Mayan ruins, are offered. Comfort, safety and great service are to be expected on liveaboard diving cruises in Belize with the Aggressor III.

Turneffe, Lighthouse Atolls & Blue Hole (11 Days / 10 Nights - 38 Dives)

Trip highlights: turtles, great macro life/ marine diversity, schooling fish & big pelagics

Diving environment: advanced divers, beginner divers, cage diving, caverns, drift diving, healthy reefs, off the beaten track, very popular, wall diving, wreck diving

Dive sites and activities: Turneffe Atoll and Lighthouse Reef including The Blue Hole

Day 1
The Belize Aggressor departs from the Radisson Fort George Hotel Docj. A transfer from the international airport to the boat is provided. Refreshments and a boat briefing await you on board. Spend the evening familiarizing with the liveaboard and with its fantastic crew and guests. Enjoy the dinner prepared by the onboard chef before you hit your bed.

Days 2-10
Your full day of diving starts with a continental breakfast at 07:00 hrs followed by the 1st dive at 08:00 hrs. You will have a taste of the colourful reef gardens and critters that diving in Belize offers. A full breakfast is served before the 2nd dive, which is usually at the same dive site as the previous one.
Some of the dives are unguided so that you can experience the underwater world at your own pace and explore different areas on each dive. Guides are always in the water for safety reasons though. One hour in the water would make anyone hungry again: lunch is scheduled every day of the cruise at 12:00 hrs and will give you the chance to taste Belizean, Mexican, Caribbean and European cuisine. Take some time for a deserved rest and restore your energy for the 3rd dive at 14:00 hrs at a new site.
Currents are usually mild in this area and therefore the diving during the safari is suitable for all levels of experience. Back on board, grab an afternoon snack and enjoy the whirlpool hot tub on the sundeck of the boat, as you have a bit of time to relax before the 4th dive kicks off at 16:30 hrs. Keep your eyes in the blue as often spotted eagle rays have been subjects of underwater pictures captured by the guests on board of Belize Aggressor.
Dinner is then at 18:00 hrs, but the fun is not over yet. If you are not tired there is the 5th dive (night dive) scheduled at 20:00 hrs in a familiar site which is usually the one already visited in the afternoon dive.
Only half day of diving on the penultimate day: a visit to the Mayan ruins or a cave tubing ride through the jungle can be arranged for you at an extra cost.

Day 11
Check-out is in the morning after a continental breakfast. An air-conditioned minivan will escort you to the Belize City International Airport. You could also join a trip to see the nearby ancient ruins, Belize Zoo, or go river tubing.

This is a rare opportunity to dive at Glover’s Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the 7 protected areas in Belize.

The sparkling interior lagoon is dotted with over 800 thriving patch reefs and pinnacles that rise to the surface of its turquoise waters.
