I have a schedule outlined in my head for
March 5-12
-couple nights stay at Pedro's Backpacker's Inn (in order to meet other travelers)
-Dive certification for about $250 (location TBD)
-Dive the Blue Hole
Return to Belize City for the end of the canoe race and Bliss Day.

Looking for suggestions. Does this canoe race bring alot of traffic to Belize? What is there to do for the Bliss Day celebration?

Should I consider Ruby's or Martha's over Pedro's?
Remember I'm looking to hang with other travelers.

Thanks Everyone
