We come to Belize every couple of years and I take that precious time to play with underwater photography. As I normally do I have posted photos on my web site.
http://www.angrypig.com - take a look if you wish - I actually think there's been some improvement since the last lot. That is very nice for me to see, next time will be even better (or so I tell myself!)
As for the trip report - it was a mixed bag really. Very nice to see old friends and catch up. Fidos was fun as always, The Reef is great and fantasic value, Elvis Kitchen and Carumbas (beer towers) did not disappoint - well, they never do.
What let us down this time was Amigos Del Mar. Sad to say it but after diving with them for 10 years I'll be swapping next vist to Chuck and Robbie. (

The issue I had was that two of my family being ill cost me $500 - with enough people to do a Turneffe trip (even without us) I was still charged $500 US because I had two people too ill to dive. I understand cancellation policies but if I have dived with a company for 10 years I expect a little give and take. Oh well, $2000 per trip for future trips will go to another company.
That didn't ruin the vacation, It was annoying and sad as the actual dive masters are great but I cannot throw that money away for no reason.
What else? The weather was fine, it was wet for some of the time but if you are in the pool or diving why do you care?
The clock? That god awful clock in the middle of the street? WTF?? Who greased palms for that to go up? Honestly...
It was, on the whole great as always and all at Captain Morgans made us feel very welcome once again, well, all on the island really. It's sort of like going home.
Already looking forward to the next trip and getting even better photos!!
