Dive Conditions

Buddy diving was encouraged.You could dive your own profile only limit was
your computer.They liked you to return to the boat with 500psi or more.  

Exclusive tank on-board for the cameras along with compressed air.Ample
space for set-up and maintenance of camera  

Overall Rating

This was my first live-a-board experience and I found it to be overall a
good one. Things ran smoothly from the pick-up at the airport to the drop
off at the end of the week. The boat was in good condition with the rooms
being kept clean and beds made daily throug-out the week. I found plenty of
room on-board to move about during surface intervals.The meals were varied
and the food was very good. Breakfst and dinner were served by the crew
with lunch being buffet style. Breakfst was cooked to order and on two
nights we were given a choice of what we would like for dinner. My only
complaint as far as food was that there were no dives prior to breakfast
and the night dive was after dinner. Wine was served at dinner each night
so if you were diving,you could not partake. The diving was varied. This
was my first trip to Belize and tropical diving. On my first few dives I
found the creatures to be exciting and stunningly beautiful,but by the end
of the week I felt like I had seen them all and was ready to move on.I
really can not say as to the condition of the reefs but in my opinion the
coral appeared healthy and life around them abundant. I found myself
getting bored with the diving by the middle of the week but changed dive
buddies and was introduced to a whole different world of diving,taking time
to slow down and take a closer look at he macro life.The crew were friendly
and helpful when asked for assistance but I observed that they did not go
out of their way to do anything extra for the folks on the boat(I asked
several others their opinion on this and recieved the same responses)
Safety on the boat was good with a fire drill being done by us all and a
nightly watch posted. I would definitely go on another Peter Hughes boat
although I can't say that I would return to Belize
