Diving

Blackbird Caye Resort offers true world class diving. The diving sites are considered some of the best in the Western Caribbean. The visibility often ranges from 100 to 150 feet. Turneffe Atoll is the only Caribbean Atoll made up of dozens of mangrove islands which are the juvenile nurseries for coral reefs.

There are 70+ dive sites located near the caye with an average time of 12 minutes to reach them. Some of the popular dive spots you will see are "The Elbow", "Calabash Cut", "West Side Story", "CoCo Point", "Al's Hideout", and "Oasis". One night dive is included for the 7 night & 4 night packages. Each day begins with an early breakfast, followed by two single tank morning dives and a single tank afternoon dive. Except for the Blue Hole Day & the Elbow dive, we return to shore between each dive.

All of our diving is drift diving. Our captain pilots the boat to you upon your ascent so there is no tiring swim back to the boat. Our divemasters rinse your gear each evening and set it up for you after breakfast. There is no need to worry about it once you arrive on the island.

Our dive shop is equipped with dive gear and two compressors. Our staff of professionally trained, PADI certified, dive masters and instructors will make every effort to fulfill your diving preferences.

There is no shore diving as the water around the resort is too shallow.

Blue Hole/Half Moon Caye

A trip to Belize wouldn't be complete without a visit to the world-famous Blue Hole. Guests at Blackbird Resort make regular visits to the Blue Hole on Tuesdays as part of our 4 and 7-Night packages. The day also includes dives at Half Moon Caye on Lighthouse Reef. This is a full day trip with a stop at Half Moon Caye Natural Monument for a picnic lunch.
