Diving

Belize offers majestic diving amongst the big islands, hundreds of smaller off shore isles, three huge and distinctive coral atolls, and the second largest barrier reef that seems endless. The underwater world around Belize is filled with shallow gardens of corals, and steep drop-offs speckled with colorful fish, vibrant sponges and other marine life. With the world famous Blue Hole, it’s no wonder that Belize is such a sought after diving destination.
Most dives take approximately 6 to 7 hours.  They leave from the dock at the hotel at approximately 8:30 a.m.  Enjoy coffee or breakfast at the restaurant while they get your gear ready on board their 40 foot dive boat, “Primal Scream”. On the way out to the dive site you will pass many scenic small cayes (islands). While en route, the dive crew will provide a briefing about the site. The trip out is from 45 minutes to an hour if the weather is calm. Keep your eye out for the playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat.

Post-dive 

Enjoy a tropical cocktail in the open air restaurant and bar. Spend time strolling along the beautiful white beaches of Placencia or take a walk through the scenic old village. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can head out on a sport or fly fishing.Tours can be arranged to Monkey River, Nim Li Punit & Labaantun Maya Ruins, Blue Creek Caves or to the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary.
