The resort offers eighteen dives a week and includes a day of diving at Lighthouse Reef and the Blue Hole. The staff will set up dive gear on the dive boat every day and rinse the gear at the end of each day. There are usually no more than eight divers on the 42-foot boats. You can explore the reef’s hard and soft corals as well as the diverse marine life that includes eagle rays, sharks, turtles, dolphins, moray eels, horse-eye jacks, and dog sappers. The typical dive begins at 8 am and divers are assigned across the three dive boats. Depending on the dive site, the resort will either pack a lunch or return to the resort for lunch. Sites are between ten minutes and an hour from the resort, the farthest being Blue Hole. The weekly night dive is on Wednesday evening and guests will likely dive at the Elbow at the southern tip of Turneffe. To the east of Turneffe, there are thirty-five miles of reef and shelves to about sixty feet in depth. To the north, there are sometimes trade wind spells, but on calm days, there are untouched dive sites. There are schools of mutton snappers, Atlantic spadefish, and hermits. To the south, there are popular dive sites such as the Elbow where the ocean current moves over the deep reef, sweeping in schools of pelagic fish.
To ensure safety, a divemaster or instructor is in the water at all times. There is also a buddy system in place as well as the usual safety stops. The resort also offers nitrox and EAN Nitrox Certification.
