Why dive here
With 378+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Rendezvous Cut offers some of Turneffe Atoll's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Rendezvous Cut is a good drift through a wide channel. You’ll start over a sandy bottom, dotted with coral heads and home to plenty of furry sea cucumbers and giant queen conch. We like to take our time here, watching the angelfish dart between the bommies. The reef then drops away into canyons and grottos, creating some interesting swim-throughs and sandy chutes that lead out into the blue. It’s a gentle dive, perfect for spotting reef tropicals like French and queen angelfish, white-lined filefish, and juvenile spotted drum.
