Hamanasi

Hamanasi delivers the best of Belize both on and offshore. Set on the mainland near Hopkins, this PADI 5 Star Dive Resort lets you reach some of the country's finest sites while a non-diving partner explores the rainforest and Maya sites inland — a perfect combination for mixed travel groups.

Reefs, atolls and a famous Blue Hole

From here you can dive the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, one of the largest protected marine areas in Belize and among its least-dived, healthiest reef systems. Hamanasi also reaches all three of Belize's atolls — Glovers Reef, Turneffe Islands and Lighthouse Reef, home to the iconic Great Blue Hole — letting you tackle Belize's Grand Slam. Other sites include The Aquarium and Half Moon Wall, with sharks, turtles, eels, corals and more.

The onsite, full-service centre fields 3 PADI Instructors plus dive masters and boat captains, and offers everything from Open Water through Rescue Diver and specialty courses, alongside snorkelling and EFR first aid. With English and Spanish spoken, it suits both new and experienced divers.
