Comments This was a wonderful dive trip to the Blackbird Caye Atoll. Diving was outstanding this time of year (early June '23). Waters were calm, visibility was outstanding, coral was the best we've seen since Curacao a decade ago, all kinds of reef fish, turtles, lobster, etc., as well as rays,dolphins, nurse and reef sharks. (And hunting the invasive Lion Fish was a real adventure!) And of course, while diving from the Blackbird Caye Atoll, we had to dive THE BLUE HOLE! (That was a real rush but next time we'll bring a more powerfull light!)

All in all the diving was spectular as far as we're concerned led by a great team of Master Scuba divers/Diver Masters. All in all the diving for us (two folks in the their mid 70's plus their kids in their 40's) was one of the best dive trips we've taken in years.

The Blackbird Caye Resort and the resort staff and management were outstanding. WE can't say enough about their friendliness, helpfulness and just plain fun. Food was great and bountiful. And can't complain about the refreshments! [None]
