Arrival in Belize & Directions to our Shop
You will arrive by tender at the Belize Tourism Village. Belize
City cruise ship passengers must tender into port since the
water is not deep enough for the ships to pull up to dock.
Our shop is located less than one block west of the Tourism
Village along the main street. Once you reach the Tourism
Village, exit the "Pirate Terminal" and take a left. Stay on the
main road. Just as you turn the bend you should be able to
see our 3 story building with a dive flag flying from the roof
and dive flag signs on the ground floor where our office is
located. In fact, if you know where to look, you can see the
dive flag when arriving by tender. If you look towards the
city, or west, you will see two flags flying. The taller one to
the left is flown by the Courthouse, and ours is to the right.
Pre-dive checklist
Once you reach our shop you will need to present your c-
card, complete our dive application, and set up your first
tank. We take out small groups of no more than 8 divers and
work with larger groups on request. After Daylight Savings
Time is adjusted in the Fall our trips depart at 9:30 am Belize
time, which is CST in the winter. In the Summer months our
trips depart at 9:00 am local time, which is 2 hours behind
EST.
Our Day on the Belize Barrier Reef
We have some excellent dive sites along Belize's Barrier Reef
less than 30 minutes from Belize City. The boat ride to the
reef heads through the offshore barrier islands and often we
see dolphins and sometime manatees along the way. Once
we reach the reef we stop inside for a dive briefing and get
our gear ready. There are hundreds of great dive sites along
the reef between Gallow's Point and Sergeant's Caye. Some
of our more popular sites are Mermaid’s Castle, JR Wall, The
Lounge, The Big One, Chub Change, Lost Anchor and Shark
Chute. These are wall dives with magnificent spur and
groove formations. In addition to seeing lots of colorful
tropical fish and hard and soft corals, we also see turtles,
rays, morays and sharks!
A PADI Divemaster will guide you on two spectacular
multilevel dives. We anchor in about 35 feet, descend, and
head east to the drop off. Once we reach the drop-off we
descend to 60 feet for 20 minutes, then ascend to 40 feet for
20 minutes. Sometimes the dives are a bit longer, sometimes
a bit shorter. It depends on how quickly divers consume
their air, and how much time we have before we need to get
you back to the ship. At the end of each dive we do a safety
stop at 15 feet for 3 minutes and have a surface interval of at
least one hour during which time we have lunch. We need a
minimum of four hours to do two dives, but more time is
better since we can have longer dives and a longer surface
interval. At the end of the day we drop you off directly at
the ship.
