One thing not mentioned yet, is you may want to reconsider making the Blue Hole a must. It is heavily promoted/marketed with neat aerial photos, but you will find people rather divided in their opinion of the actual dive and whether it's worth doing. So if you haven't already, read some of the threads on here about it. You may decide doing this dive is not worth arranging (or compromising) the rest of your trip around.
That said, the rest of the diving out in that area is some of the best in Belize and is the real reason to get yourself out there. Belize really is a good place to do a liveaboard, and both the Aggressor and Sun Dancer usually do the Blue Hole. Or yeah, stay on Turneffe.
You should definitely look at a map of Belize, and note the scale (I assume you have by now!) It's just not a place where you fly into the international airport, take a short drive to a land based resort, and you're done. You are going to take another plane or water transfer to get anyplace you want to stay and dive from. While there is a dive operator leaving from Belize City, that's really not where you want to spend your vacation and also far from most of the diving.
