the best i have ever encountered. big camera tank, three level camera table. lots of help with anything you asked for. low pressure air and camera towels on table. e-64 proccessing. big tv for video. this is the standard all others must be judged by. this is the best for a diver with a camera hands down...........along with lots of great subjects on every dive and a knowledgable staff. it does not get better unless you are on colypso. |

the is the ultimate dive experiance for any diver how likes to dive, dive, dive, and dive. oh ya you also eat and sleep.... 5 or more per day!!! nitrox is the only way to go... great bottom times and not that old tired feeling after 3 or 4. hot tube on second deck was great after the night dive or any time. the food was fantastic even if it was not a boat. the cabins are just fine for the amount of time you spend in them. well maintained and almost bug free, if youn pack right there is plenty of room for two and the bed feels great after 5 dives. a couple of small problems with heads and nitrox over the week, but the crew is right on ot. the captian (Sam) was great, he did everything in his power to see to our comfort and enjoyment. jaun, chris, and steve are great hands and crew. they jump right in and will show you what is up on the boat and below the water. the cooks did a great job of three meals a day and snacks all day...the shower, soap, and hot towels on the back deck was the best. Hang your skin and it would dry by the next dive. if you shower with it and take it off in the shower it was always clean and did not pick up that special smell that comes with a week of diving. the sea life was great and you found some new creature on every dive both big and little. I will do this one again and again. this is the RR of diving and i will have to try other locations. once you go this way it is hard to go back to land based resorts again. the sights in belize are right out of National Geogrphic, caves, ruins, and wild animals you name you can see it. Belize City should be seen once, but that maybe enough, except for traveling in and out. It is mr. Toads wild ride hang on and close your eyes, your driver has..... if you dive you have to do this. I am not all that hard to please, but I know a good time when I see one and if there was some negitive I would see it, not it, let some one in charge know, and tell it here...... |
