Hi guys, I'm going to Belize in 2 days for 7 weeks. I will be doing reef survey stuff up in the North at Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve near the fishing town of Sarteneja. I have a week free after this expedition to get to my flight home from Cancun.
This was a very last minute trip so I know very little about Belize and the Yucatan. I know I want to do the Lighthouse reef/Blue hole dives ( I was recommended Frenchie's diving by the organization I'm volunteering with, any experiences with them or any other agencies?). What other spectacular dives are there in Belize and how much time would I neably just focus on diving ) I'll have to get back north to Cancun so maybe I should focus on the Yucatan. What other spectacular dives are there in Belize and how much time would I need?
I am on a budget and will be traveling by local buses and staying in hostels as much as possible. Paying for actual dives will take up most of my money.
I have no PADI certs, I will be getting my OW and advanced OW during this volunteer expedition. I also might be able to do EFR and some other certs but I doubt it.
