well we are back to reality! ambergris caye is a beautiful place. but man is it windy! we stayed at the blue tang inn, very nice and quiet. our room was gorgeous. top floor #10. I highly recommend it. (funny though, I just got an email about my bill, seems we owe more money). I dont think so... but we will see. they had a nice little pool too. very little. anyway to the diving. we had a 5 day,2 tank diving package w/free night dive. didnt get to do the night dive. too windy. went outside the reef only once and did a 2 tank dive, because it was too windy. the first dive was great, saw lots of sharks and groupers, big... it was just me, my husband and the divemaster, Everett. he was great, dove with him all week (Hustlers). one day we went to hol chan and did shark ray alley. then we did it again later on in the week because that was the only place they were going. they werent very good dives because it was sooo windy, so the water was pretty turned up. then we did the Turnefffe Trip. Beautiful... 3 tanks, and lunch on the beach. great food. we also took a day trip out to Goff's Caye and did 2 tanks. beautiful too. another great lunch on the beach. if anyone is going soon, be sure to take something along if you get sea sick, its pretty rough out there. some people didnt get to dive because they were too sick. they should have taken a pill! San Pedro is an interesting place. our hotel was just a short walk from everything. we ate at bc bbq, cannibals, caliente, capricorns, cocina caramba, estels, fido's,jambel jerk pit, wet willy's for breakfast, mickeys, and a couple of other places I cant remember. everything was great! jambel jerk's was too hot for me. its probably the only place I didnt think was to great. The escargot at capicorns was wonderful! and the stuffed grouper was to die for! Cocina Caramba coconut sauce w/shimp or grouper was also very good. we went to Fido's several nights, they had barefoot skinny and that other guy another night (I cant think of his name). some lady sung one night with the band. I think her and her husband were some big wigs on the island. rented a golf cart one day, went over to capt morgans, and were going to eat at Sweet basils, but they are closed on Mondays! lucky we made it back to hotel, are golf cart was junk! so we had to cut our adventure short! we did the jungle tour on the little boats. it was fun... saw the backside of the island. went to do some parasailing. but they were done for the day, they had a crisis, some local tried to kill/drown herself under their dock. man what a way to go! 2nd day we were there, my husband met the beer delivery guy delivering beer to wet willy's bar, he asked them how much for a case. we ended up paying .80 a bottle. and they delivered it to our room and put it in the frig! what a deal! I sure would like to know if this wind is normal for june? was it?
