My first attempt at scuba diving was in Australia; there I booked a day’s introduction course with a local company and spend the day on the ocean. The day was great however the journey to the dive spot was quite long, somehow I remember it being over an hour maybe even two; but once in the water with all the colours it was amazing. I’m planning a trip to Belize for next year and I was just wondering whether anyone had ever dive the Blue Hole and could offer some advice as to what it is like there? --- "So many places, so little time" ((*_*)) Reply    Reply with quote    Contact mistybleu   eirekay Premium account Joined: Aug 03 Points: 19539 Posts: 214 Posted: 2011-07-18 19:33:00    Amanda, I adore diving. I've been diving in Belize twice - did the Blue hole, which is an all day trip with a long boat ride there and back. It is unique and different but I was disappointed. Unless you are certified to go more than 130 feet, you don't see a lot that's really different. I love diving in Belize though - the reef is wonderful! I also like Utila and Roatan in Honduras - same Reef. I'm diving in Nicaragua in two weeks at the south end of the Belize Reef. Have a wonderful time - are you diving off Ambergris or Calker? I did a report on Ambergris a couple of years back. Eire --- Life is not measured by the breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.
