People quite often fly up to San Pedro, do two dives, have a relaxing stroll and lunch, and fly back in good time for their ship's departure. If you check the flights against DAN recomendations you'll see that they come nowhere near the threshold of DAN's concerns. I've certainly never heard of anyone having a problem. If you're a nitrox diver you can keep yourself even further from the limits.

"Cattle boat" is often used as a term of derogation, but it isn't well defined. What do you mean by it?

Honestly you are not gonna be there long enough and the crew is not the most organized and they will cost you time with tendering. My wife and I went on Hugh Parkeys boat. They pick you up right at the ship and they showed us a really great time. We loved the dive and the crew was wonderful.

I used Sea Sports Belize on my cruise over Thanksgiving, you tender in and get on the dive boat and they drop you off back at your cruise ship. Great operation and reasonable prices.
