Ok I’m cheating here a little by rolling several locations into one! However, it’s really worth you taking in the various coral atolls on offer across Belize. This includes Turneffe Atoll, Lighthouse Reef and Glover’s Reef.
There are only four coral atolls in the West – by definition alone – meaning that it’s well worth diving down to spot the incredibly colours and shapes beneath the surface. It’s thought that some of the reefs here plunge down as far as 1000m – hard to believe!
The three mentioned atolls above all have their own assets that offer interest to exploring divers, Turneffe is the biggest and is the easiest to get to from the mainland. The best dive site in Turneffe is known as elbow and the twist in coral is a sight to be seen.
Lighthouse Reef brandishes the beautiful blue hole that many travelling scuba divers love to visit, if you want to travel across the 30-mile lagoon then you will be able to enjoy this reef.
Glover’s Reef is a remote dive site in Belize and is home to some of the most incredible marine life, much of the surrounding area is rarely visited and for. that reason there’s a lot of beautiful reef fish and various species.
