Scuba Diving: Turneffe Atoll 3 Tanks

Due east of Belize City, and just minutes beyond the Barrier Reef lies the Turneffe Atoll. The largest of the three atolls located off the coast of Belize, Turneffe is made up of more than 200 islands. It is 32 miles long and at its widest point is nearly 10 miles wide. Due to its proximity to the mainland, one would think that the diving there would be more popular, but in fact, Turneffe is the "forgotten atoll". For this very reason, Turneffe has some of the most pristine diving in Belize. We start the day with a 5:30 am pick up from your dock, and return to our dock for breakfast, coffee and juice. We then depart at 6:00 am for a two hour trip to the Turneffe Atoll. Dive sites include Turneffe Elbow South, Black Beauty, Myrtle Turtle, Front Porch, and Calabash, the choice of sites depending on the weather conditions. We arrive back at San Pedro at about 5:30 pm.
