    Trip Report - Tranquility Bay Resort

    Just returned from a 2 week stay at TBR. This was our 5th stay at this lovely laid back oasis on the north end of the island. The first 5 days saw heavy onshore breezes which made diving ouside the reef impossible becausse of high seas. There were approximately 12 divers at the resort the...

    Heading to Aruba in Febraury for 2 weeks. We will be staying in a house at the south end of the island (close to Baby Beach). We plan to do about 10 dives while we are there. Having never been there before I was wondering if anyone could put together a list of the best dive sites. We are not...

    Tranquility Bay Resort on Ambergris Caye

    I have been there 4 times. The diving is great. There is a cut right outsie the resort so access outside the reef is really easy. There are some great dive sites at the north end of the island and you never have to worry about large groups. Trips to Hol Chan are easily available and take about...

    Healthy reefs!!

    Great Video. I think everyone who travels to Belize or other countries along the reef should watch it before they go. I have travelled to Belize 4 times since 2006, each time to the same resort inside the world heritage site, and I have noticed a difference. The locals are starting to get...

    Show us your Sealife weekend diving pics!

    Yes. I was in the middle of about 12 - 4-5ft Tarpon spinning around snapping pictures. They look so cool underwater, they almost seem to be covered in aluminum foil. All the shots were taken with the DC800 and a strobe. As mentioned before this was my first trip with an u/w camera and it...

    Pink Spot on DC800 Shots

    Scubi Do.... Did you hear anything yet? I dug up a really bad photo (overexposed) I took on my last trip and was able to duplicate your pink spot issue while playing with the levels in Photoshop. I was not able to get the pink spot to appear on photos that were properly exposed so now I'm...

    Memory Card Question DC800

    For my 16 GB card I paid $20.00. Obviously that was a great sale price. I see in my shopping around now that I can't find a 4 GB card for that price. I'm off to pick up the 4 GB card (as a back-up) this wekend as I'm leaving for Belize next week. Yahooooo!
