Belize Aggressor IV - Turneffe Atoll
The Belize Aggressor IV is a liveaboard, not a dive centre in the traditional sense, so you're signing up for a week of eat, sleep, dive. They focus on advanced diver training, including instructor development, which is pretty unique for an atoll-based boat. If you’re serious about advancing your dive career while exploring the best of Turneffe, this is a solid pick. It’s also great for groups looking for a dedicated training experience away from shore distractions, with the added benefit of multiple dives each day at some truly stunning sites.
