About this site
Black Beauty is a dive site on Turneffe Atoll, the largest of Belize's coral atolls, sitting east of the mainland in the Belize barrier reef system. Turneffe's sites are typically reached by boat from lodges on the atoll or from liveaboards operating out of Belize City, with terrain along this stretch featuring reef and drop-off structure typical of the atoll's fringing walls.
