Turneffe
Atoll is the closest to the mainland of
the three atolls in Belize. Located 15 miles
east of Belize City the Turneffe Islands
surround the largest atoll. Unlike the outer
atolls, Turneffe is unique; it is not a
ringlet of sandy islets like Lighthouse
Reef and Glover's Atoll, but is instead
nearly covered with thick green mangroves
and a shallow lagoon. Turneffe is
the only Caribbean Atoll made up of dozens
of mangrove islands which are the juvenile
nurseries for coral reefs and many schools
of fish.
Turneffe Atoll offers true world class diving -- the visibility often ranges from 100 to 150 feet. The diving sites are considered some of the best in the Western Caribbean. 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.
