Dive Review of
Turneff Island Lodge in
Belize/Turneff Atoll

Bahamas, Cayman Brac, Mexico, Costa Rico, Honduras, British Columbia, many
locations throughout the US, etc

Dive Conditions

Recreational limits.  

While a rinse bucket was offered on the dive boat, we declined because the
dive sites were normally so close to the dock, and you return to the dock
after every dive.  There was a large rinse tank dedicated to cameras on the
dock.  The dive masters and captains were very careful handling the
cameras. There were do developing facilities available for film but the
lounge had a monitor available for viewing digital.  

Overall Rating

I have nothing but praise for the entire operation.  Turneff Island Lodge
is located on a 10 acre island near the southern tip of the Turneff Atoll. 
They are self-sufficient, generating their own power and collecting or
making their own water.  There is nothing on the Island but the Lodge.  You
dive, fish, snorkle, swim, sun bathe, kayak and eat during the day and make
your own night life in the lounge bar if you still have any energy left. 
They accomodate about 40 guests tops.  The diving was excellent - not quite
as good as Caymen Brac, but much better than Honduras.  The dive operation
and dive personal are some of the best I have ever encountered.  I am
really particular about my gear, but felt I could really trust them to
handle it properly.  The accomodations were awsome.  Staying in one of the
cabanas on the beach is well worth the extra cost.  The entire interior is
finished in hardwoods.  The food is family style and really delicious.  All
the food is fresh with a lot of local dishes mixed in to make it
interesting.  The staff and management are extremely helpful and friendly
and seem to anticipate your every question or need.  If you leave something
lay on the dining room table it turns up on your front porch before you
miss it.  They also run an excellent fishing operation if you want some
variety.  If you are looking for a fantastic dive getaway, this simply the
standard by which all should be compared.  'nough said!
