Belize Diving Sites

Dive Sites in Belize

Lighthouse Reef, the Turneffe Island Atoll and Glover's Reef Atoll together cover more than 400 square miles with a total of 140 miles of drop-off walls. Incredibly, these atolls comprise as much reef surface as the Belizean barrier reef itself! These Belizean atolls, unlike Pacific atolls built on volcanos, actually sit atop two parallel submarine ridges close enough to the surface to allow the formation of massive coral and sponge growths.

A sampling of available trips includes:

Southern Barrier Reef Trips
These trips will explore areas from just north of Tobacco Caye to the cut five miles south of South Water Caye called Grand Channel. The trip out to the Barrier Reef is ten miles and it takes 30-40 minutes to get to the first dive site.

Glovers Atoll
Located due east of our resort, this remote island group best represents the incredibly diversity and pure diving potential that Belize has to offer. We motor out sixteen miles past the barrier reef which takes us over one hour to the first dive site.

Turneffe Atoll
This 3 tank trip heads northeast cruising past remote fishing camps and idyllic cayes before punching out of the protective Barrier Reef for a short crossing to the Turneffe Atoll.

Bluehole and Lighthouse Reef
We start this trip bright and early and head 50 miles offshore to the Great Blue Hole, which takes approximately 2.5 hours. Once there you can go down 130 feet to view the largest underwater dripstones on the planet.
