Planning a Diving Vacation in Belize
The Great Blue Hole is located in the Lighthouse Reef Atoll and is part of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System World Heritage Site. Day boats depart early in the morning from Caye Caulker and San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, usually combining the Blue Hole with the wall off Half Moon Caye, where you can visit the red-footed booby colony during the lunch break. The Turneffe Atoll has been a fully protected marine reserve since 2012. The Turneffe Island and Blackbird Caye resorts pick you up in Belize City and also take you to the Blue Hole from there. Every Saturday evening, the Belize Aggressor III and IV safari boats depart from Belize City.
With this booklet, you plan the week. The base's weekly schedule shows how boat trips and dives at the house reef are spread over the days, with a plan B if the boat cannot sail due to the weather. The last day before the return flight is dive-free. The travel period by month lists water and air temperatures, wind, visibility, crowds, and special features, so you can set the date before booking your flight and accommodation.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print as a booklet at home.
