Day one. Leave N.Y. at about 8am on continental airlines arrive in Houston transfer to next plane to Belize Arrive with all bags for 17 people of 18. One person bags lost. Will not get bags until last day at sea. Wave Dance pickup at airport Three vans, no problems. arrive at ship each person shown or told were room is. while leaving port at about 6pm we have dinner. all meals good not great but good. Capt. gives hello speech, tells us about boat about dives about meals etc. Drinks and meals included on trip. Nitrox free if you have card. You can dive up to five times a day with about two hours between dives. Getting on & off boat was very easy with big platform and two large ladders. Each morning after breakfast fully site description. after lunch new site for remainder or the day. also site description after lunch of new site. Dive sites were all good or better then I have seen in a long time. Lots of large coral, large fish, lots of macro shots, no current, small amount of surge in shallow water. Deep dives off wall were of the oh wow type.. Saw several large spotted eagle rays, one manta ray, one small shark five ft. blunt noise, Tarpoon very large, snappers, turtles Large and small. their was very little we did not see. On Tuesday we did the big blue hole. No big deal, vis. about 30ft there. every other place vis between 100 to 150ft. after they take you to an Island for Lunch & to see the Red footed boobee birds I think that was the name. I suggest a hat. THE weather (air temp about 84 to 87 deg. water temp between 77 and 81 deg. In all My wife And I did 25 dives. The night dives are great. with my lights from my video the tarpoon would see the bait fish and go on a feeding frenze. If you like the bottom creatures lots of lobsters, crabs, flounder, frog fish, so much I can't remember all. Days on boat sat part at sea no diving, (sun, mon, tues, wed, thur) full dive days, fri returned to port after two morning dives. sat leave ship at 8:30am and we stayed until 1pm at the radison hotel across from the boat until time for the plane. Plane home everyone got bags, No real problems just had to run through Houston airport to get next plane. Only bad thing was the week went to fast... This was my first liveaboard and I will be going on another.
