Turneffe Flats

Belize consistently ranks among the top Caribbean dive destinations and Turneffe Flats is ideally located to take advantage of the very best SCUBA diving in Belize. There are in excess of 60 dive sites on the Turneffe Atoll; and divers are within easy reach to dive the Lighthouse Atoll and the Blue Hole.

As the largest coral atoll in the Caribbean, Turneffe offers varied underwater dive terrain including spur and groove formations, sandy ledges and sheer walls providing spectacular dive sites to suit every level of diver. The Eastern side of Turneffe is protected by 35 miles of reef. It shelves gradually to about 60 feet where spur and groove formations meet the wall. Nutrients from the mangroves are dispersed to the reef by the tides causing large concentrations of feeding fish to congregate.
