The Elbow (Turneffe Atoll)

The Elbow is Turneffe's exclamation point — the place where the atoll narrows to a spur and the ocean's traffic gets compressed. Ride the current off the point and the water fills with motion: snapper schools balled so tight they cast shadows, horse-eye jacks turning like weather, and spotted eagle rays passing in loose squadrons that are the site's calling card. Reef sharks patrol the down-current edge. It is a blue-water-feeling dive over real structure, best saved for divers happy hanging mid-column while the bottom slides past. Boats live-follow the group; nobody anchors here.

您此行的高光时刻: Eagle-ray squadrons, massed snapper and jacks, big-water drift at the atoll's tip.

地形地貌: A sloping spur of reef projecting into open water where the atoll's walls meet, falling away steeply on both sides.

水流: Converging currents wrap the point; this is the engine of the site and it can switch mid-dive.

入水方式: Live-boat drift at Turneffe's southern tip; entries timed to the current line.

危险因素: Strong, shifting current and quick depth; surface markers and tight buddy pairs are non-negotiable.

保育: Inside the Turneffe Atoll Marine Reserve; fish aggregation points like this are exactly what the reserve exists to protect.

高氧（Nitrox）: 在此值得使用——各潜点深度落在富氧空气（nitrox）能有效延长免减压时间的区间（前提是持有相应认证）。
