The Elbow (Turneffe)

Turneffe's signature advanced dive at the atoll's southern tip, a favourite of advanced divers where eagle rays are fairly common (Travel Belize).
Practical
Position approximate: derived from the Caye Bokel Spawning Aggregation Site Reserve marked on OpenStreetMap at Turneffe's southern tip and the location of 'The Elbow' on TASA's reserve map; get the exact buoy from a local operator. Advanced divers only - strong, variable current; dive with a licensed guide. Eagle rays are fairly common (Travel Belize). OpenStreetMap marks the Caye Bokel spawning aggregation site reserve nearby: no fishing. Anchor nowhere near; use operator moorings or drift.
