What you will visit:

Turneffe Atoll (Two-Tank Dive)
The Belize Barrier Reef is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the most fascinating living reef systems in the world. Turneffe Atoll is one of only four coral atolls found in the entire western hemisphere, and its dive sites lie in a conservation area. The first dive explores the atoll's thriving coral wall and reaches depths of 60 feet. The second dive explores a different area that takes you up to the colorful coral wall.

What you will see along the way:
After being picked up from the ship, we will begin our tour to the Turneffe Atoll. On the way to the dive site, our dive masters will assists with double checking your equipment as it is already tagged off on board. You'll head out for the approximately 45-minute ride along the barrier reef to Turneffe Atoll, taking in the mangrove covered islands and tranquil lagoons that make up Belize's largest atoll. Below the shimmering water, view hard and soft corals, sponges, tropical reef fish and a variety of marine life. Sightings of large fish are frequent and include turtles, spotted eagle rays, and blacktip sharks that call the Turneffe's reefs home.

Snacks:
Between dives, enjoy the sunshine during your surface interval time, and relax on board with a snack of fresh fruits and a variety of baked goods, as well as sodas and water.

Lunch:
Enjoy our local Belizean Cuisine of Rice & Beans, Stewed Chicken and salsa.
