jonathan-if you check back,i hear JE is no longer a padi 5 star, as the web page says...hope it is as good as the other island dive shops. i dont dive (i snorkel)but my husband loves to dive....

oops-double post..

jonathan, can you see feed the rays snorkeling or diving only - guess i said enough times here i dont dive...should read my own posts!!!!

Jane, Its a great snorkel.water fairly shallow. Being a PADI instructor myself, I think the hole 5 Star thing is overated. They are a good safe operator.

RG <----- smiling
coincidentially, we are leaving our kids with my mom 9,5,3...g,b,b. alas, we leaving the 14th so our paths won't cross unless we get belizian fever and don't leave.
give the snorkleing a try, the wif and I love it, first time tried in hawaii, got hooked. she says great activity can do together but without talk. ha ha as opposed to tennis, golf or basketball where the comments are flying.

Jane,

Toddle, stroll, waddle, crawl, take a bike or a boat down to the Palapa Bar and chill out. (Make sure you have arranged return transportation) Just south of the Palapa is Sweet Basil's. Try this for lunch (closed Mondays). All of these are on the north side of the cut about 1 mi. or less.

I don't dive either but SWMBO does. Gives me plenty of time for general mischief and perfecting my probably well deserved reputation of being (in my lawyer friend's words) an "attractive nuisance". We go 4-5 times a year so I have plenty of time to discover additional venues for the sport of lazing about.

Jane,
I just spoke with Steve at Belize Ocean Divers and the fact is his operation is indeed a PADI 5 star. It was a 5 star IDC, which means they held instructor training, which is not available at this time. Thought I would let you know. Have a great trip!!!
