If you want to Dive Blue Hole, try this,...dive the close sites just outside the reef for the first two days...most bring you to 100'. Thats 6 dives in two days...then take the overnight trip to Blue Hole..you will love it...I did it two years ago. I was alittle rusty the first day, by the second I felt comfortable at depth. Blue Hole was a major head rush, kinda like climbing Mount Fuji in Japan.
The dives on the way to and from Blue Hole were unreal.
Here's the link to my trip....

Best dive I did so far was The Elbow! Going to do the Blue Hole with my son in May. I dived with Amigos, but they did not have a bathroom on boat. Can anyone tell me who goes out there wtih a potty? I was dying to pee on the trip back and it was torture!
Thanks

Congratulations. It sounds like you know your limitations. You don't need to make a decision to do or not to do the Blue Hole until you have been in Belize for a few days.
As has been said before, dive the reef for a few days and you and your dive master can evaluate your readiness for advanced diving. Some of us are not interested in the Blue Hole. You might decide that a trip to Turneff would suit your needs. It is a little closer and a little less money. As with Lighthouse, it is an all day trip with 3 tank dives. I love going there. laugh

I would recommend Hustlers as they do reef and atoll diving. If you do multiple days diving with them they will give you a discount. Billy Leslie is the dive operations manager and one of the best dive masters on the island.

When are you going?

I believe that most of the operators that go to the Atolls as well as local diving will offer a discount for blocks of dives and then the later trip out to the Atolls.

We will be going Jan.13-20. I am very excited and am ready to dive. What I am interested in seeing are sea-life like coral and colorful fish. I know that I have to take a trip over to shark-ray alley one day.

pka8, Cypress is one of my favorites for corals and little fishies. I also really like Pillar for the pillar corals of course, they are like castles down there.
