Perhaps the most popular Belize activity at Tuff’E’Nuff Tours is scuba diving. Belize is
known as being one of the best diving destinations in the world. This is because
of the Belize Barrier Reef, which at 185 miles in length is the longest in the
Western Hemisphere. The reef is packed with fish and other marine life. It serves
to protect the coastline of Belize, creating a zone of calm clear water. The
Belize Barrier Reef has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The water visibility
inside the reef is excellent, and usually exceeds 100 feet. The water is warm
and calm, creating a truly enjoyable diving experience.
A Belize dive package can take you swimming with the typical reef sharks and
manta rays. There are many famous dives in Belize, including the Blue Hole at
Lighthouse Reef, a huge underwater depression that formed thousands of years
in the past. Here you can do deep dives of up to 130 feet and view the enormous
stalagmites that make this area feel like a petrified, underwater forest. The
blue hole is also known for its sightings of hammerhead sharks and is one of
the top ten dive sites in the world.
Another great Belize dive trip is to Turneffe Atoll or Turneffe Elbow where
a chain of islands encompass a lagoon. The lagoon is full of channels and caves.
When off shore diving at the Turneffe Atoll, you can have the experience of wall
diving along the dramatic a pristine reef walls. Turneffe Atoll also offers great
coral head diving and even a few shipwrecks.
Tuff’E’Nuff Tours can put together a Belize dive package for you
that consists of one or two tank dives. Our experienced guides will pick you
up from the Belizean Shores Resort or any other resort on Ambergris Caye and
take you to the premier dive sites. You will get a say in what sites are visited,
so you don’t have to fear that you will do the same dive over and over
again. There are enough diving sites, and so many things to see that you can
spend your entire vacation diving every day and never make the same dive twice.
Belize is a diver’s paradise. Call us today to find out how you can experience
it.
