Overall Rating

Turneffe Island Lodge is one of only two dive destinations that we make it
a point to visit every couple of years.  The food here is consistently
among the very best we have experienced anywhere in the Caribbean.  The
accomdations - especially the cabanas - are very nice.  The resort occupies
its own island, which is reachable only by boat, so it is very quiet.

We did not experience as many spotted eagle rays and black tip sharks as
on some prior trips.  The currents weren't really running and the moon was
full; maybe that was why.  Still, lots of turtles and pelagic fish (permit,
jacks, snapper).  Several spotted toadfish and a good number of ths usual
reef suspects.  As is generally the case, we dove with groups of about a
half dozen in a small, open boat.  Most dives - including the renknowned
Elbow - are done as drift dives just a few minutes ride from the resort so
surface intervals between the three dives are done at the resort. 
Experienced dive masters and boat drivers continue to pamper guests. 
Better for somewhat more experienced divers as divin rquires back-roll
entries, sometimes swift currents in open water, and deep dives.  We'll be
back!
