Diving Glover and Turneffe Atolls in Belize

We did a 7 day liveaboard around Glover Atoll with a few dives around Turneffe in October of 2023. Here is a video from 26 dives on that trip

Our trip was on Aggressor III. Departing from Belize City we did 4 days at Glover Atoll primarily south east side, and then headed over to Turneffe for a day and a half of diving there. Aggressor as usual was a great diving boat, wonderful crew, great food, 4 dives a day plus night dive, and they let you have long dives.

We saw some cool rare fishes

Due to exceptionally high water temperatures, Caribbean sea corals suffered extensive bleaching in the fall of 2023. Sadly, Belize was also very much affected during our visit. Hopefully some of the reef recovers.

On the morning before boarding the ship we visited Mayan ruins of Lamanai. And after we returned, we took a few days to explore more Mayan Ruins and beautiful Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve using San Ignacio as a base.
