Seven of us (5 divers) spent 11/7-11/14 on Ambergris Caye. We booked
airfare on Continental Airlines direct from Houston. One bag did not make
the flight, but arrived that afternoon. We booked the hotel/dive package
through Bay Adventures and had no travel problems. We flew Tropic Air and
Mayan Air to and from the caye without problems. The hotel accomadations
were very good; 2 full beds in each room, small refrig, satellite tv and
plenty of hot water. The hotel resturant was very good, but other
resturants were within walking distance. The hotel is across the street
from the airport, but aircraft noise was not a problem. The rooms do not
have balconies rather they open to a common walkway with 2 chairs and a
table outside each room. As a result we were cautious about leaving gear
out to dry when we were not in the room. I was concerned about using Aqua
Divers based on some negative dives reports, but they turned out to be very
good. Our group was a mix of experienced and beginning divers. They
accomadated us well, leaving the experienced divers pretty much alone after
they were comfortable with our experience level. The dive shop is on the
hotel premises. They use a combination for small and larger boats. Some
days were cattleboat crowded, especially the Blue Hole all day trip. They
maintain the BCs and Regs and set them up on the assigned boat each day.
The divemasters were very good; friendly, gave good briefings, and helpful
with the beginning divers. We will use them again.
