Recent Belize trip anyone???

[snurktaylor]

We are leaving ofr Belize from 6/1-6/8. I have been reading that it is raining ALOT and the viz leaves alot to be desired...considering my diving is all as a "kelpdiver", hence SoCal., what is considered bad viz in Belize? I think the best I've been diving in is about 40ft. and the Red Sea at 100+, but I wasn't yet a diver when we were there. Man we are so so so excited that working Tues and Wed is going to kill me

Thank you for any info anyone can share,
Jacqueline

Was there in March for a week. It was a liveaboard (Nekton) and most of diving was wall based. Vis ranged from about 50 to 80 feet and there was a lot of diversity. I have never dove in kelp so I can't give you much of a comparison but after 2 trips to Belize I can honestly say that I have yet to be disappointed.

I was on the Nekton Pilot from May 6-13. Visability was usually about 80ft, water temp was 83 degrees. It did not rain while we were at sea.

Ask me in about a week after I get over Having to do my LAST Meso American Barrier Reef dive today. I am crying inside.

This week started with 2 days of rain but ended up with 84 weather and 78 water temps from surface to 88 feet. Vis was 45 - 60 feet. From what I hear Belize is at the start of the Dry season.

Anyone considering visiting Ambergris caye, Belize should do it soon. Once South Beach Belize Real Estate Development - Ambergris Caye Belize Development, Oceanfront Real Estate gets under way the place will change radically for ever. And ecologists expect the reef locally to be destroyed.
