Comments We are currently at Caye Caulker on a month long stay. Diving almost every day with Frenchies. We leave our gear with them, they take care of it and it is ready the next day. Except for camera, which we bring back to our apartment to service.

Diving is from pangas, except for the long trips to Blue Hole and parts of Turneffe atoll, which is a 40' cruiser driven by 4 - 250 HP outboards. The long trips 90 - 120 minutes each way are 3 tank; all others 2 tank. Frenchies provides good snacks between dives and plenty of water. The long trips include a really good lunch.

Guides are clear during briefings and attentive U/W. Helpful for finding photo subjects. Entries are back roll (giant stride off big boat) and pangas have good ladders. Diving is very easy and totally enjoyable. Water is 28-29C (83-85F). This is low adventure, laid-back diving, exactly what I like.

Frenchies Diving Services rate among the top ten I have dove with during my long career. I look forward to 2 more weeks here and returning next year.
