yea!!made my reservations; be there next month. EXPERTS...i'm a non-diver. what are the best things to do on the island given 6 days? been there once. other than Hol Chan, what is a must-see snorkel site? if i do only one mainland trip, what must i do? last time (1993)saw mostly cayo district a 3 days san pedro.thanks!

Dear Jane,
The Lamanai Ruin trip is nice...and very popular. Snorkeling at Mexico Rocks is great! About the 10-20 ft. range and is great for taking underwater shots with those disposables....good light at that depth.
The Sailboat Cruise with George Eiley on the Rum Punch II is nice....an all day trip on a big sail boat to Caye Caulker with a stop at the marine park first....and complimentary Rum Punch!! George is a great guy too!

Hope this helps!

LOL means laugh out loud.

thanks chloe...guess i wasn't even close...LOL! get it??? i used it already. guess i crack myself up. thanks again for your info on my all my posted questions. do you live there or just visit often?

I live in South Texas, and wish I could live in Belize, so I visit as often as I can.

chloe, i live in beautiful Bucks County PA, and it takes us too long to get there to go often (and then there are my 3 & 5 year old kids). this is our second trip. leaving the kids home with my mom. would love to go every year! maybe when the kids grow up...

Hi Jane,
The dive shop at Journey's End is Belize Ocean Divers and Steve Bowen their has found a spot near Mexico Rocks where he is hand feeding eagle rays. This would be a don't miss. Have fun!

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.

Jane in beautiful PA
another one LMAO = laughing my ass off
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.

guys..thanks! i'll print this out in hard copy and take with me. this has been much fun playing on this board. can't wait to get there...three weeks and counting...check my volleyball question.maybe see any of you there???????????

Hey Bucks County have fun. It looks like we will making the trip 8-13 to 8-22. You will probably be just getting there. This will No. 3 this year and we still have November and then Christmas with the kids in AC to go. Goodness...I need a shot of San Pedro.

Have great time.

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!!!
