Site details

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.
