DIVE INTO THE INN AT ROBERT’S GROVE IN BELIZE

The setting for a dream diving vacation recently unveiled its on-site dive shop at The Inn at Robert’s Grove in Belize. The Dive Center is located on the Placencia Peninsula in southern Belize.

The Dive Center at Robert’s Grove is supervised by a PADI certified divemaster with worldwide diving knowledge. It’s is fully equipped with new Oceanic equipment and two dive boats, including a 30-foot dive boat with two Honda four-stroke 130-hp engines and a 28-foot dive boat with two Honda four-stroke 115-hp engines. The boats hold a maximum of 10 divers each, ensuring plenty of room for preparation

The Inn at Robert’s Grove is a 35-minute boat ride away from Belize’s Barrier Reef, the second largest living reef system in the world.  Diving off the Placencia Peninsula is considered some of the best in Belize since, as the edge of the barrier reef comes south along the coast of Belize, it separates itself further from the mainland. The result is a broad expanse of coral reef with channels going from 90 to 110 feet that rise abruptly into shoals and caves. At last official count there was a minimum of 20 named diving sites in the southern waters of Belize off Placencia, bursting with untouched coral and abundant fish life.

Two-tank dives at Robert’s Grove are $67 per day and include tanks, weights and lunch (8% sales tax is additional).  (Gear rentals are available.) Certification and resort courses can be arranged. To kick off the launch of the new Dive Center, Robert’s Grove is offering an all-inclusive 7-night/8-day “Year 2000 Dive Package” for $1,250 per person, based on double occupancy.  The package includes round-trip flights between Belize City and Placencia, transfers between Placencia Airstrip and Robert’s Grove Deluxe (standard) room with king bed, A/C, ceiling fans and private terrace. Additional benefits include all meals (minus one lunch and dinner) 3 days of diving, (two tank dives ­ weights & tanks included) choice of one day trip to Monkey River or Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve and complimentary use of resort amenities.

The Inn at Robert’s Grove is the newest, most complete upscale resort in southern Belize.  It features 20 luxurious guestrooms and junior suites with king-size beds, air-conditioning, ceiling fans and private beachfront terraces and a fine dining seaside restaurant and bar. Complimentary to inn guests are a 50-foot freshwater swimming pool, tennis court (the only one in southern Belize), rooftop Jacuzzis, canoes, kayaks, windsurfing boards, sailboats and bicycles.  The inn also offers all sea and inland tours, including snorkeling, fishing and day trips to the Monkey River, Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve, Red Bank Ecotourism Project and Mayan ruins.
