This was my fourth trip on the Nekton Pilot, and the second to the Central Belize area. The accomodations are adequate, although the boat is beginning to look tired. The food was excellent, and the service great. The diving in Belize is very good, with excellent coral and sponge life. There are a lot of macro opportunities in particular. There were schooling horseeye jacks at most of the mooring sites. Eagle rays were observed regularly, as were turtles. Two divers observed a hammerhead shark at about 80 feet. We had a large pod of bottlenose dolphins (estimated 50) cruise past the bow and stern of the boat about 15 feet away during our first day of diving. That set a pretty high standard for the rest of the week! |
