Great crew-most dive masters were enthusiastic. Weather was not cooperative but crew did the best they could. They even have turn down service and hot beverage service to quarters in the morning. The last dive briefing was for the wrong dive site. Weather was such that the captain probably thought he was at the site next door. When we went down, current was so strong (not so on other dives), my buddy and I had to resurface and so did another couple. Everyone else used 1500 psi to reach the mooring pin, hung out for about 5 minutes with nothing to see, then resurfaced. Nobody did the second dive at that site. We understood the mistake due to the weather and nobody was upset. Overall, Peter Hughes is a great liveaboard. The dive facilities are marvelous with plenty of room, although the boat was not full this trip. Cabins have plenty of room with private bath,king bed and very nice, large picture window. Food was better then expected (Jerry is a great chef) and with very good service. We really enjoyed the Chilean wine! We will repeat with Peter Hughes and would highly recommend this Belize trip! |
