Blue Hole Dives:
A one-day adventure to the Blue Hole includes three spectacular dives of up to one hundred thirty feet. Six miles north of Half-moon Caye, in the lagoon of Lighthouse Atoll, is the Great Blue Hole. The name alone makes it different from some of the other 'blue holes' to be found in the Caribbean. This one is the largest, deepest, and most famous worldwide. Your first dive stop will be the Blue Hole, a one thousand foot circular coral reef that drops four hundred feet into an incredible cavern filled with stalactites and inspiring natural formations. Your second stop will be at Half Moon Caye wall where you will marvel at the abundance of its marine life. Numerous varieties of sponge and sea fans compete for space amongst the plethora of coral species that inhabit this wondrous attraction. You will spend your surface intervals having a leisurely beach picnic on Half-moon Caye. Your final stop will be at the so-called 'Aquarium'.

This three-tank dive also takes you to the stop at Billy Bob's where the formations have created many exciting canyons, tunnels, and swim-through. This area is heavily populated with the many reef fish that inhabit this part of the Caribbean. The last stop brings you to Myrtle's Turtle.

Resort Scuba Course:

Open Water Scuba Certification:
The PADI Open Water Diver course is divided into three segments including academic training, confined water training, and four open water dives. Academic training gives you the basic principles and knowledge you will need for safe and enjoyable diving. Confined water training takes place in our ocean-pool and will teach you the basic skills of diving. The four open water dives allows you to demonstrate your mastery of these skills and practice them in a typical diving situation, while enjoying the underwater sights of Belize.
Referral Scuba Certification:
The referral certification consists of four open water dives required to complete your certification. Two dives a day, either in the morning or in the afternoon at the reef, allow you to complete the necessary and required skills, while developing your confidence in the big blue. This certification is completed in two days time.
Advance Scuba Certification:
The course is made up of three core dives, a navigation dive, a night dive and a deep-sea dive. You will also make two elective dives that you will choose with your PADI instructor. Elective dives to choose from are peak buoyancy control, a boat dive, a drift dive, a multi-level dive, an underwater naturalist dive, a wreck dive, and underwater photography dive. That makes a total of five dives that can be completed in as quickly as two days. The Advanced Open Water Diver course is a good choice for those interested in not only exploring the reef, but also doing so while advancing their underwater experience.
