I need good dive ops on Turneffe Island , Belize

[WarmGoingCold]

Hi all,

I need some suggestions from those who have stayed on Turneffe Island in Belize. We are looking for a good dive op who can cater to 5 or 6 divers. We are not interested in sharing a charter with other divers.

If you know of some decent accomidations there as well, that would be great! We are looking to dive in late February.

have you done on this location?

it's not like you have a huge selection to pick from...last time I was there, there were exactly two places to stay. Your chances of reserving the resort's dive boats for only your group are probably slim...

I stayed at Turneffe Lodge this past August. Keep in mind these two resorts are on two differnet islands encompassing the Turneffe Atoll. You can't go from one to the other.....unless you have a boat. And I doubt Blackbird will run you to the Lodge or vice versa.

The lodge uses skiffs that hold about 10 divers max. As I recall they have 2 for sure, maybe 3.

BTW, the service at Turneffe Lodge can't be beat. I did a trip report on them you may want to search for....but basically they are an operation that all others are compared to.

Also, keep in mind....these are both lazy sleepy places. Once the diving or fishing is done for the day there's not much else to do other than read a book while swinging in a hammock.....which is perfectly fine with me!!
