Paradise Scuba Adventure in Belize

10:30 am rendezvous at Island Expeditions Dangriga Base. Our 30-minute boat charter departs here once loaded.  Traveling through several islands and mangrove estuaries, you arrive at Tobacco Caye Paradise Lodge on the edge of the Belize Barrier Reef within the Southwater caye Marine Reserve. . After an island welcome from our host and settling into our accommodations, we meet in the middle of the hammock garden for a briefing of the next days’ dives. The rest of the afternoon is yours to acclimatize, walk the island or take out a kayak or paddleboard.

This morning we rise early with the tropical sun. Relax with your fresh coffee in your hammock before the days’ adventures begin. After breakfast, we meet at the dive shop for equipment fitting, safety and procedure briefing and the final muster for our 9:30am boat departure. Our first dive on the Belize Barrier Reef will check out our ability level and make sure our equipment is fitted properly. We return to the lodge for lunch and a siesta. Then we meet at the hammock garden for our next briefing before heading out to our afternoon dive outside the Tobacco Caye Cut. We return to the lodge for dinner and head to the sunset bar next door to toast the day!

Today is another early start, after our morning meal we meet at the Dive Center for our day’s briefing. Our dive location this day is further afield towards South Water Caye. Traveling 6 miles along the crystal turquoise waters of the Belize Barrier Reef, we arrive at South Water Caye. We turn the corner through the cut and dive the outer reef wall. After our morning dive, we have a picnic lunch on a sandbar. A short stop at Carrie Bow Caye (The Smithsonian Marine Station), we
head out for our afternoon dive. After reaching topside, we travel back north to Tobacco Caye to shower off and clean up for the day.

(3 Night Program): For those participating in the 3 Night program, this morning we have a leisurely breakfast and a last walk around the island. Boats back to the mainland at 9:30 am (transfer included in this package).

(4 Night Program): Today we rise for an early breakfast and prepare to head out to one of Belize’s most spectacular dive locations, Glovers Reef Atoll. After a quick dock briefing, we travel to one of Belize’s most remote reef systems. The boat slows as we approach the turquoise horizon and we suit up to dive the east reef wall facing the open pelagic sea. After returning to the surface, we have a picnic lunch on a secluded private beach on the southern tip of the Atoll. Following lunch, we head westward to dive the spectacular “Western Wall” of the Barrie Reef. We then return to Tobacco Caye for a pre dinner Happy Hour and toast the sun going down for our last night.

(4 Night Program): For those participating in the 4 Night program, this morning we have a leisurely breakfast and a last walk around the island. Boats back to the mainland at 9:30 am (transfer included in this package).
