Belize in March 2006

We are planning to dive out of of Belize City the week of March 20,
2006. Plan to stay in a local hotel. Can anyone recommend local dive
services that you have had good experience with for 3 days of diving?

thanks

As I answered on the other board, why would you plan your diving out of
Belize City instead of one of the Cayes?

I'm going diving out of Belize City the week of March 20. What's wrong with
that?

Nothing, inasmuch as you are taking a liveaboard. You aren't going to be
going back to Belize City at the end of every dive day.

Would you rather overnight in a vibrant, exciting city like Belize with
nightlife, casinos, and a bowling alley, or be stuck on a boat in the middle
of nowhere with a bunch of boring, sleepy divers?

Trick question. The bowling alley cancels all the advantages of the city.

All too often when I'm stateside, I'm in a vibrant, exciting city with
nightlife, casinos, and a bowling alley - and I get bored to tears,
there's nothing new there - same bling, same pukes. Given the choices,
I'd vote for a boatload of boring, sleepy divers in the middle of
nowhere in a blink. If one of them is Reefy Bob-a-loo, so much the better.

As it happens, I would rather be on the liveaboard. Now what does that tell
you?

OK, if that's part of the option, I'm back to the bowling alley in BC.

Me, I'm off to San Andres. Ben said Ben said there were topless women
there. And "salacious" entertainment. I dunno what that means, but it's
got to beat bowling.
