Front Porch is Turneffe Island Resort's house reef, an easy shallow site that begins at a coral shelf around 12-15m before sloping into deeper water. Its calm, accessible profile makes it a favourite for checkout dives, training and macro-rich night dives where octopus and seahorses appear. Eagle rays, turtles and reef fish frequent the slope.

At the exposed southern tip of Turneffe Atoll, The Elbow is Belize's premier drift wall dive, where currents sweep around the point and concentrate big schools of fish and pelagics. Divers ride the current along spur-and-groove formations from about 27m as eagle rays, snapper aggregations and reef sharks patrol the edge. Strong, sometimes unpredictable currents make it strictly an advanced site dived only in the right conditions.
