Activities A day trip consisting of three absolutely spectacular dives, the Blue Hole dive is probably the most significant signature dive for most divers passing through this area. Made famous by Jacques Cousteau, and recently made a World Heritage Site, the Blue Hole is a sunken underwater cave approx. 1000 ft. in diameter and 408 ft. deep. The top of an underwater cave is located at approximately 100 ft. deep. The cave contains stalagmites and stalagtites. Recommended for Advanced Divers, we dive the walls and caverns at 135 ft. A school of black tip sharks live inside the blue hole and can make for a dramatic dive. Bottom time at this depth is 8 minutes. The rim of the blue hole is surrounded by corals and makes for an interesting mandatory safety stop on the way back up. Upon ascent from the Blue Hole, divers are served some type of refreshment to wet what can become very dry mouths when diving.
Then, it is off to the second stop - the Half Moon Caye wall. Half Moon Caye is an island located inside the Lighthouse Reef Atoll. Part of the island has been made into a protected area for the local "Booby Birds" that nest there. The waters near the island have also been made into a Marine Park. The second breath-taking dive in this series of really awesome dives takes place here at the wall on Half Moon Caye. Inside the wall area the depth is about 50 - 60 ft. The second dive is done at approximately 70 feet for 40 minutes. We coast along the outside wall. Soft corals abound in this area. It is not unusual to see large sponges and fans protruding from the wall. Try not to drop to the bottom (3,000 ft. below you). The view here is absolutely spectacular. Sightings here, in addition to the absolutely spectacular coral formations, can include barracudas, schools of rays (spotted eagle or manta rays), turtles, sharks. The corals themselves are homes to some of the most colorful fish life on the planet.
After the second dive, decompression time is done on Half Moon Caye island (a 2 min. boat ride), where lunch is also served. After lunch, you may tour the nesting grounds of the protected Booby Birds. A mandatory charge of $10 BZ per person is levied on all visitors to the bird sanctuary or marine park. Be sure to have yours handy when you arrive. There is an observation tower built into the pedestrian trail that allows you to view the birds from a bird's eye view (above the trees). There are many beautiful shells and corals that also wash ashore here. Please remember to bring nothing but footsteps and take nothing but pictures. The wardens will love you for it.
The third dive stop takes place at one of the walls on Turneffe Island. Just as the one before, the views are absolutely awesome. The wall dives are some of the most beautiful dives one can ever do. Each of these three dive spots is located is pristine and virtually untouched areas of the reef. Again, soft corals seem to be popular here on these wall dives. The third dive is done at approximately 50 ft. Bottom time - 40 minutes. I hope you enjoyed your tour!!! Price $150 per person
