Comments We had another wonderful week in Belize! The diving was great, and the facilities are even better at Turneffe Flats. The rooms are in great shape with plenty of room. The staff was outstanding. The meals are all individually served, and they try to accommodate all requests. We treated like old friends. We are planning our trip for next year as I write this. I would recommend this resort to all. Karen and Craig are wonderful, caring owners! We dove with Nitrox all week. Did two dives in the morning and a third in the afternoon. All the dives were about an hour in length. Plenty of room on the boat with 6 divers for a 20 person boat. The reefs are in great shape. The only time we saw another dive boat was on the trip to the Blue Hole!
