Peter Hughes Sun Dancer 2:  Diving

Just off Belize’s coast is the second largest barrier reef in the world. The reef offers pristine diving and the atolls beyond the reef are truly paradise.  The marine life that inhabits the barrier reef is extraordinary and diverse…everything from schools of tarpon, turtles and stingrays to a wide variety of tropical species, and of course, the famed Blue Hole.  The walls and drop-offs are spectacular. Turneffe Islands and Lighthouse Reef boast much of the best diving in Belize.

On the Sun Dancer 2, dives are prioritized for quality vs. quantity.  Dive deck services include hanging up your wetsuit and rinsing your dive gear, handling your valuable camera equipment with care, and warm towels will be draped around your shoulders after your dive.  In addition, hot chocolate (with or without alcohol) is passed around after each night dive.

Dive safety is the highest priority, and the diving crew will give detailed dive briefings, check currents and temperatures before the dives and be in the water on every dive.  Also, the crew monitors the vessel round the clock with a 24-hour watch schedule, and weekly safety drills assure that guests and crew are prepared in the unlikely event of an emergency.
