Everyone needs some “Adventure” in their lives.

Over the years we at Tiedemann’s Diving Center have organized hundreds of trips. Some to very exotic places like Truk Lagoon or Dunbar Rock. Some interesting places like the Saint Lawrence seaway to do some amazing wreck diving. For this October we are going to the second largest barrier reef in the world - Belize!

You have been hearing about how amazing diving is in Belize. Now you have the chance to see all that Belize has to offer. Incredible marine life, including dolphins, tarpons, sharks, eagle rays and the stunning, deep Blue Hole, an incredible collapsed freshwater cave system - a one-of-a-kind experience for you to enjoy.

Joe Foster will be the trip leader and will guide you to this great diving adventure. Tiedemann’s Diving Center has been taking adventurous divers like you, all over the world. Join us and see just how great the Belize can be.

Our adventure will be aboard the luxurious M/Y Belize Aggressor IV liveaboard yacht. We have 10 spacious cabins.

On the main deck there are seven deluxe staterooms with combinable twin beds or one king and two master staterooms with queen beds, all with picture windows and sea views.

There is also a deluxe stateroom with two twin beds or 1 king bed located on the lower deck. All cabins feature private in-suite bathrooms, individually controlled AC units, TV monitor with media player. wardrobe, bathrobes, hairdryer, toiletries and fresh towels.

Social areas include an indoor air-conditioned restaurant, where the MY Belize Aggressor IV takes advantage of local fruits, vegetables and seafood to prepare fantastic American & Latin/Caribbean style meals. Fruit juices, soft drinks, beer, wine & a limited variety of mixed drinks are included.

There is also an open-air lounge terrace, large sun deck with loungers and shaded cocktail deck.

The Belize Aggressor IV liveaboard departs Belize City for a seven night diving cruise where you will enjoy up to five dives per day.

Belize is known for its crystal-clear waters, with visibility reaching 120ft. Divers will be amazed at the diversity of colors and marine life including dolphins, turtles, reef sharks and rays.

Belize Aggressor IV includes spectacular dive sites such as the Painted Wall, Half Moon Caye Wall, Quebrada and the Blue Hole.

There is a large dive deck located at the back of the boat where guests have access to individual gear storage, rinse tanks, camera table with low-pressure air hoses, and two fresh-water showers with hot water.

Here are some highlights of this amazing trip…

• Exciting diving in Belize with the excellent, world-renowned Aggressor Fleet, offering you access to the largest barrier reef in the northern and western hemispheres with a crew that knows it inside-out.

• Enjoy four to five dives a day - including night dives - from the mothership, with plenty of opportunity to see the incredible marine life in the area, including dolphins, tarpon, sharks, eagle rays and macro-critters.

• Dive the stunning, 124 meter deep Blue Hole, an incredible collapsed freshwater cave system - a one-of-a-kind experience to enjoy.

Here are some of the amazing dive sites…

Black Beauty - Known for sightings of turtles & eagle rays, this area features long mounds of coral with sandy bottom channels. The wall begins around 50 ft.

Elbow - This advanced dive boasts one of the best opportunities to see large pelagics such as eagle rays & reef and hammerhead sharks. Strong currents are often present.

Grand Bogue -This site is home to the elusive white spotted, white lined & large-eyed toadfish.

Wreck of the Sayonara - Remains of a 50 ft. boat with coral growth around the wreck & numerous barrel sponges, along with many other sponge varieties.

West Point 1 & 2 -The visibility at these sites is highly dependent upon winds & tides, but the labyrinth of reef buttresses makes this site great even when visibility is down. The walls are very vertical & start in only 20 to 25 ft. of water.

Loads of black coral & deep water gorgonians abound, as do giant barrel sponges & red finger sponges. You are likely to see mangrove tunicates here. The shallow sandy area is alive with garden eels, peacock flounders, & southern stingrays. In the sandy areas, blue throated pike blennies can be found.

Triple Anchor -Three anchors are very well hidden on a beautiful reef in 45 ft. of water. Look for big barrel sponges, eagle rays & a cleaning station.

Eagle Ray Wall - More arrow blennies that you will probably see anywhere else, plus loads of decorator crabs.
