Belize 2011

Belize Diving from Dan MacFarlane on Vimeo.


We recently enjoyed a trip to Belize where we spent a week diving at the Turneffe Flats resort, on Turneffe Atoll. The resort is a 30 mile (1.5 hours) boat ride from Belize City. There were only 4 guests (including Erin and I) so we pretty much had the island resort to ourselves for the week. We did 3 dives a day for 6 days, totaling 18 dives at various sites around the Atoll. Highlights include: disturbing a rather large crocodile while walking along the breach, hunting lion-fish (an invasive species in the Caribbean), encountering a pod of melon-headed whales, and the trip to the Blue Hole and nearby Aquarium dive site.

Be sure to checkout the Video above.

Here's a map of the dive sites:
