Extremely well run operation, very safety focussed with good, attentive dive masters and staff. Excellent food, housekeeping and ambiance. We were a little disappointed in the reef (are we spoiled now after Indonesia?) as much of it was broken (hurricane damage?) but our dive master worked very hard for us and showed us lots of things. Divers the previous week saw +15 sharks but we had a bad "shark week". Operation has changed a little since we were there in 2003 and the change is for the better. Fresh warm towels on the dive boat along with oranges, water, etc. and divers are assisted to the utmost. You set your gear up on the first day and never have to do it again - it is hosed down daily by the staff and washed at the end of your trip. Lots of turtles, jacks, frog fish, parrot fish, etc. Rooms have been refurbished and are really nice but the cabanas could do with a bit of a facelift - apparently planned for next year. Again, a first class operation with excellent dive and resort staff. Note - you are dropped back in Belize by 9 in the morning so a later flight makes for a very long wait in the airport. We will return to Turneffe. |
