The ReefCI Trip

ReefCI offer all inclusive Monday-Friday Marine Conservation SCUBA packages on a beautiful Coral Caye in the Caribbean. World class diving, plentiful home cooked food and fun friendly people await you. Learn to dive or further your dive qualifications and help monitor the reef, commercial fish species and capture the invasive lionfish!!

The diving is structured but extremely relaxed and not regimented. It is safe, non challenging diving in the Caribbean with little or no current and visibility ranges from 15-40 metres. There are rarely other divers in the area (we never have to share a site) and we often discover new dive sites and allow our guests to name them!!

The ReefCI trip gives the general diver a unique opportunity to learn about the marine environment and to help conserve this precious resource whilst having a fun holiday. Our trips are for both experienced and non experienced divers, scientists and non scientists alike, everyone makes a contribution regardless of their background and experience. And, don't worry if you are a novice diver, lots of our guests come here to learn to dive as the PADI Open Water course is included in the price.  We only take small groups which allows us to focus on individual diving skills and as we do 3 dives a day, not only know will you learn a lot more about the marine environment, you will also go away a much better diver.

Typical Day

We rise with the sun and after a cup of coffee, fresh fruit and maybe a biscuit or 2 we go diving! No better way to start the day and work up a healthy appetite for a scrumptious Belizean breakfast that awaits our return. The second dive of the day is mid morning which allows time for some conservation training, PADI tuition, or just a swing in a hammock in the cool Caribbean breeze with a good book.

Most dive sites are only 10 minutes or so from the island so after dive 2 we head back for a spot of lunch. Dive 3 is mid afternoon and whenever possible, weather permitting, and if guests are interested we will offer a night dive (we aim for at least 1 night dive a week).

Watching the sunset over the sea with a local beer or rum punch rounds off the day, with a lovely dinner and some good chat from interesting like minded people!

We cater for everyone who loves diving regardless of age or gender. Our guests to date have ranged from 3yrs old to 72yrs old with lots inbetween. You just need to be active, interested in the ocean and meeting new people. We only take small groups normally of between 6-8 guests so you really feel as if you have the ocean to yourself!! Families, couples and the individual traveller are all welcomed. We do not charge a single supplement!
