Why dive here
With 378+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Lindsey's Back Porch offers some of Turneffe Atoll's richest diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Lindsey's Back Porch is a comfortable drift dive, just a little over 13 meters, perfect for an easy afternoon. We love gliding along with the current, watching the gorgonian fans sway and the sea plumes wave. You'll spot plenty of butterflyfish and angelfish darting around, along with the resident blue tangs. Keep an eye out for the white-spotted toadfish tucked into the coral ledges – they're unique to Belize and always a treat to find. Hawksbill turtles are often ambling over the reef, and if you’re lucky, you might even see a nurse shark rooting around in the sand. It’s a gentle dive, ideal for those who prefer to take their time and soak it all in.
