Blue Marlin Beach Resort

Belize offers some of the world's best diving, and as an official PADI Dive Center in Hopkins, Blue Marlin Beach Resort puts that variety within easy reach. The experienced staff handle the details and keep equipment dive-ready, so guests enjoy more leisure time before, during and after every descent.

Wall diving at its best

Nearly every site here is a wall dive, or sits right alongside one. Deep dives are planned "over the wall," while shallower outings stay at the top or just inside the outer reef crest. An unusually generous approach to bottom time—starting deep and ending shallow—allows for around 50 minutes of average bottom time per dive, with computer diving encouraged.

The divemaster leads each dive, but buddy teams enjoy real freedom of movement. Walls, marine life and visibility are the highlights of nearly every outing, with the chance to spot spotted eagle rays, moray eels, dolphins, rock snappers and a host of smaller species.

It's a fitting base for divers who want spectacular wall diving paired with attentive, well-organised PADI dive service.
